Heart rate control with bioengineered pacemakers
Project Summary/Abstract For patients with symptomatic bradyarrhythmias, the current and only treatment is to implant an electronic pacemaker. Nearly all of the current research regarding rhythm management, including the leadless pacemakers, are invested in incremental progress in miniaturizing the indwelling devices. While the devices can provide stable and long-term pacing, the technology is far from ideal with problems inherent to the pacing technology and to foreign body issues due to the indwelling hardware. The problems can be severe for pediatric patients with congenital heart block as multiple and invasive surgeries are needed for replacement or revision of the implanted devices…
