Beijing: Scientists have developed pacemakers that can operate from the heartbeat energy. This instrument has been successfully tested in pigs. The researchers said that this study, published in the journal ACS Nano, is a step towards creating a self-operated cardiac pacemaker. These pacemakers can also be implanted and they have replaced modern medicine, which can save lives of many people by controlling the heartbeat.
The researchers said that however, there is a huge reduction in their battery that lasted only five to 12 years. Researchers at the Sacand Military Medical University and Shanghai Xiao Tong University in China worked to overcome this problem. A traditional pacemaker is implanted under the skin near the clavicle (collarbone).
Its batteries and electrodes produce electrical signals which are transported to the heart through the implanted electrode.
