Pacemakers have evolved throughout the years by becoming more compact and sophisticated. While traditional pacemakers have helped save countless lives, the wires can introduce problems such as infection. Now, a new, dual-chamber leadless pacemaker technology is giving patients with abnormally slow heart rhythm a safer option.
Watch now, as Cardiac Electrophysiologist Cyrus Hadadi, MD, tells @fox5dc these tiny leadless pacemakers—smaller than AAA batteries—are implanted directly into the heart with no wires, no chest incision, scar or bump. That means less risk and a faster recovery.
