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...09 Nov 2022
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...04 Nov 2022
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...01 Nov 2022
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...27 Oct 2022
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...27 Oct 2022
