In situ assembly of an injectable cardiac stimulator
In situ assembly of an injectable cardiac stimulator Without intervention, cardiac arrhythmias pose a risk of fatality. However, timely intervention can be challenging in environments where transporting a large, heavy defibrillator is impractical, or emergency surgery to implant cardiac stimulation devices is not feasible. Here, we introduce an injectable cardiac stimulator, a syringe loaded with a nanoparticle solution comprising a conductive polymer and a monomer that, upon injection, forms a conductive structure around the heart for cardiac stimulation.

Can Electronic Decision Support Improve Acute Heart Failure Care in EDs? An electronic decision support tool may increase the prescription of guideline–directed medical therapy for patients with acute heart failure (AHF) in emergency departments (EDs), with no serious adverse events (SAEs) within 30 days among very low-risk patients who are discharged.
