The Dhaka Times Desk What if an ultra-thin screen was placed over your heart that would monitor your heartbeat at all times? Such will obviously be the pacemaker of the future that has been successfully tested on rabbit hearts.
University of Illinois And Washington University St. Louis Its researchers have developed this next-generation pacemaker. The basic design of the pacemaker is modeled on the computer. They then made it into a three-dimensional mold that was very useful for rabbit hearts.
Then the researchers transplanted it into the heart and it continued to work well. The pacemaker tracks the heartbeat and creates a list. If the heartbeat ever goes out of control, the electrodes immediately start directing the heart's pulse. This pacemaker can be a good solution for patients suffering from chronic heart disease, especially those with irregular heartbeats.

This membrane pacemaker has already been tested on rabbit hearts, where it has shown good results. But experts feel that more research is needed to test it in the human body. But we can expect its use to start in 5 to 10 years. Researchers are trying to get the right size and shape for the human heart so that it can attach to the heart very well.
