Researchers at Northwestern University just found a way to make a temporary pacemaker that’s controlled by light—and it’s smaller than a grain of rice. A study on the new device, published last week ...

The heart may be small, but its rhythm powers life. When something throws that rhythm off—especially after surgery—it can become a race against time to restore balance. For decades, doctors have ...

Engineers developed the smallest pacemaker yet: a device smaller than a grain of rice, activated by light, and meant to dissolve after it has met the patient's need for temporary pacing. (Nature) FDA ...

Scientists just unveiled the world’s tiniest pacemaker. Smaller than a grain of rice and controlled by light shone through the skin, the pacemaker generates power and squeezes the heart’s muscles ...

Northwestern researchers have developed the world’s smallest pacemaker, which with its dissolvable nature allows it to be inserted non-invasively into patients’ bodies. Fit into the tip of a syringe, ...

Scientists from Northwestern University have created the world’s tiniest pacemaker—smaller than a grain of rice—to help babies born with congenital heart defects live. This ultra-miniature device can ...

Tiny device can be inserted with a syringe, then dissolves after it's no longer needed. (Nanowerk News) Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the ...

The tiny pacemaker sits next to a single grain of rice on a fingertip. The device is so small that it can be non-invasively injected into the body via a syringe. Northwestern University engineers have ...

CHICAGO — A new, tiny pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — developed at Northwestern University could play a sizable role in the future of medicine, according to the engineers who developed it.

If you have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and especially if you have obstructive HCM that reduces blood flow out of your heart, you and your doctor may discuss ways to lower your risk of sudden ...
