The world's smallest pacemaker has a very small surface area, which is suitable for doctors to operate, and also greatly reduces the possibility of infection and complications, effectively shortening the patient's recovery time, and the pacemaker's lifespan is longer.
Very different from traditional pacing systems?A pacemaker is an instrument placed in the chest that is used to correct arrhythmia. In some cases, beating too fast or too slow can affect the body's blood supply, and pacemakers use electrical impulses to stimulate the heart to beat at a normal rate. By connecting to the heart, the pacemaker senses when the natural beat needs to slow or stop and sends electrical pulses to restore the normal rhythm. Conventional pacemakers are about the size of a teabag. The newly developed pacemaker is very small, 93 percent smaller than conventional pacemakers.
No unsightly lumps under the chest?In 2019, Ruijin Hospital successfully completed the first Micra leadless pacemaker implantation in Shanghai and the first batch of implantation surgeries in China.The landing of the first implantation marks that the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmia in the Department of Cardiology at Ruijin Hospital has reached the international leading level.The whole surgery lasted only 30 minutes.After local anesthesia, Prof. Wu Lijun and his team of doctors, Pan Wenqi, Lin Changjian, and Ling Tianyao, passed a femoral After local anesthesia, Prof. Wu and his team of doctors, Pan Liqun, Lin Changjian and Ling Tianyou, placed the pacemaker in the heart cavity through a femoral vein puncture catheter. The surgery was a great success. Relatives of the patient said the leadless pacemaker was an ideal choice for a sports-loving, busy person.
Helping many people with cardiac insufficiency?Micra leadless pacemakers are mainly for older people and can reduce the risk of surgery, Pacemakers can be thought of as something that works on the heart, People with a severely slow heart rate, i.e., those whose heart stops beating for more than three seconds or whose heart rate is often less than 40 times that of a heartbeat, especially those who black out before their eyes and suddenly faint, People with weak heart contractions, such as those whose heart muscle has been damaged by a disease or whose original shape has been altered in such a way that the heart muscle People who are unable to contract efficiently. Decreased contraction of the heart leads to insufficient pumping of blood by the heart, and no part of the body is able to get enough fresh blood, which leads to dizziness, chest tightness, fatigue, and other symptoms.
