Millions of people have benefited from pacemakers since the first one was implanted in 1958, but the basics facets of the design have remained unchanged. These devices are still battery-operated, with ...

An experimental leadless pacemaker is able to capture enough energy from the heart to partially power the device, according to results from a new proof-of-concept study. The prototype device harvested ...
