According to a study recently published in the British journal Nature Biotechnology, scientists at Northwestern University in the United States described a "temporary" implantable cardiac pacemaker that does not require leads or batteries for its operation.

During the recovery period after heart surgery, it is necessary to temporarily use a pacemaker.

This time, a team led by Northwestern University researchers Reese Arora, Igor Ivmov, and John Rogers developed a fully implanted, thin and lightweight pacemaker for use in Control heart rate and heart rhythm after surgery

Tests have shown that the pacemaker can successfully pace human heart slices as well as the hearts of mice, rats, rabbits and dogs, and is completely decomposed after being implanted in rats for 3 months

The researchers said that this method overcomes the shortcomings of traditional "temporary" pacing devices and can be used as the basis for the next generation of postoperative pacing technology
