Efimov additionally says that currently many serious heart complications including atrial fibrillation and heart block, can follow cardiac surgeries or catheter-based therapies.
The gadget is the size of a postage stamp, feels soft, and is a flexible device that uses an array of sensors and actuators. It is curated to conduct highly complicated analyses compared to traditional devices like pacemakers. “Physicians can remotely monitor the patient’s heart in real-time,” the study states, “the device also is highly transparent, allowing physicians to observe specific heart regions to make a diagnosis or provide treatment.”
“The tool developed in our work has great potential to address unmet needs in many programs of fundamental and translational cardiac research,” he said.So far the technology has been tested in small animal models exhibiting multiple functions, unlike traditional pacemakers.
