The advent of small memory chips with very low power consumption, coupled with advances in radiofrequency telemetry, has enabled implantable cardiac pacemakers to become diagnostic as well as therapeutic devices. Different types of devices are available. The simplest type merely indicates whether or ...
In the past, pacemaker insertion was the only way to correct heart irregularities. However, the use of pacemakers has been reduced due to the introduction of electrophysiology. Electrophysiologists also perform other surgical procedures, such as cardiac ablation and drug therapy to help manage arrhythm...

They, however, have high energy density output and are suitable for use in systems that must operate in isolated environments for an extended period of time, such as cardiac pacemakers, deep-sea instruments, and spacecraft. Based on the energy conversion approach, atomic batteries are classified ...

prove an effective tool in understanding how environmental factors that alter an embryo's heart rate lead to congenital defects. It may also lead to investigations of cardiac electrophysiology at the cellular, tissue and organ levels, and possibly the development of a new generation of pacemakers. ...
Cardiac pacemaker malfunction due to exposure to magnetic fields may cause serious problems in some work environments for workers having cardiac pacemakers. The aim of this study was to find the magnetic field interference thresholds for several commonly used pacemaker models. Methods We investigated 16...
