Leadless Cardiac Pacemakers: Current status of a modern approach in pacing
Hellenic Journal of Cardiology, 2017 Since the first transvenous pacemaker implantation, which took place 50 years ago, important progress has been achieved in pacing technology. Consequently, at present, more than 700,000 pacemakers are implanted annually worldwide.

A miniaturized endocardial electromagnetic energy harvester for leadless cardiac pacemakers. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2020 Life expectancy of contemporary cardiac pacemakers is limited due to the use of an internal primary battery. Repeated device replacement interventions are necessary, which leads to an elevated risk for patients and an increase of health care costs.

On the Evolution of the Cardiac Pacemaker [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2017 The rhythmic contraction of the heart is initiated and controlled by an intrinsic pacemaker system. Cardiac contractions commence at very early embryonic stages and coordination remains crucial for survival. The underlying molecular mechanisms of pacemaker cell development and function are still not fully understood.
