Your heart’s job is to keep your pulse steady to pump blood throughout your body. Sometimes your heart rate is slower when you’re relaxing, and sometimes it’s faster when you’re exercising or stressed ...

Scientists have successfully transformed guinea-pig heart-muscle cells into pacemaker cells, paving the way for a biological alternative to artificial pacemakers. Pacemaker cells generate electrical ...

The CResPace project is developing a new pacemaker that works in conjunction with small artificial neural networks to better adapt to the demands of the body—replicating a healthy heart When the heart ...

Today's pacemakers are about the size of a small matchbox, and future models are expected to shrink even further, becoming smaller than a grain of rice. Now, these devices, depending on the model, can ...

The heart's regular rhythm is crucial to the delivery of oxygenated blood and nutrients to all the organs of the body. It is regulated by a bundle of cells called "the pacemaker," which use electrical ...

We are at a critical time and supporting science journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen scientific ...

Adam Taylor is affiliated with the Anatomical Society. Your heart beats around 60 times a minute, delivering nutrients and removing waste from every cell in your body. It has been doing this since you ...

A specific cell population is responsible for ensuring that our heartbeat remains regular. Researchers from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have now elucidated the mode of action of ...

Generally, pacemakers improve quality of life for individuals who have a condition causing bradycardia, or a slowed heart rate. However, because there is an electrical device implanted near your heart ...

Researchers have created new artificial intelligence software that can identify cardiac rhythm devices in x-rays more accurately and quickly than current methods. Researchers have created new AI ...
