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.

Intuitionistic Fuzzy Biofeedback Control of Implanted Dual-Sensor Cardiac Pacemakers

Bioengineering
Cardiac pacemakers are used for handling bradycardia, which is a cardiac rhythm of usually less than 60 beats per minute. Therapeutic dual-sensor pacemakers aim to preserve or restore the normal electromechanical activity of the cardiac muscle.

A miniaturized endocardial electromagnetic energy harvester for leadless cardiac pacemakers [PDF]

, 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.

Symbiotic cardiac pacemaker [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2019
Abstract Self-powered implantable medical electronic devices that harvest biomechanical energy from cardiac motion, respiratory movement and blood flow are part of a paradigm shift that is on the horizon. Here, we demonstrate a fully implanted symbiotic pacemaker based on an implantable triboelectric nanogenerator, which achieves ...
