Longer-Lasting Pacemaker Batteries Could Help Avoid Replacement Surgery

Researchers have come up with a way to increase the useful lifetime of nonrechargeable, or “primary,” batteries which are used for essential applications. Replacing the battery in a pacemaker or other medical implant requires a surgical procedure, so any increase in the longevity of their batteries could have a significant impact on the patient’s quality of life.

Early Intervention with Catheter Cryoablation Can Halt Disease Progression in Atrial Fibrillation Patients

A new study shows that cryoballoon catheter ablation (cryoablation), a minimally invasive procedure that involves guiding a small tube into the heart to kill problematic tissue with cold temperatures, can halt disease progression in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). More...

Resorbable Pacing Leads Can Significantly Reduce Risk After Cardiac Surgery

Researchers are developing resorbable pacing leads that can significantly reduce risk factors after cardiac surgery. In the future, bioresorbable leads that can be left in the body and then disappear by resorption after a defined period are expected to replace conventional leads. More...

New Microsurgical Technique for Removing Spinal Tumor Surpasses Traditional Methods

Doctors have proved the superiority of a new microsurgical technique for tumor removal. Compared to the traditional approach, the new method is more reliable - it improves the condition of patients more often. More...

New Wireless, Battery-Free Pacemaker Can Be Implanted With Less Invasive Procedure

A team of researchers has designed a wireless, battery-free pacemaker that could be implanted with a less invasive procedure than currently possible and would cause patients less pain. More...

Wearable EEG Patch Measures Brain Activity and Other Health Indicators for Early Disease Diagnosis

Researchers have developed a wearable device that is unobtrusive and comfortable, which can measure brain activity in everyday situations - and its technology may potentially monitor many other health indicators as well. More...

Wearable Vest System Could Help People with Heart Failure Stay Out of the Hospital

Researchers are developing a wearable vest system designed to monitor heart failure patients in their home and detect when their condition is worsening. Such early detection could lead to treatment changes and other interventions that prevent hospitalizations. More...
