Researchers at The University of Manchester and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust have discovered a backup natural pacemaker, which is able to generate a pulse and control the heart rate. The ...

If the SA node of the heart isn't functioning properly, then this might lead to abnormal rhythms and irregular heartbeat. It is then that you might need a pacemaker. Sometimes the SA node is not able ...

Electric pacemakers can soon be replaced with biologic pacemakers which were developed using sinotrial (SA) node pacemaker cells. These cardiac cells were grown from human embryonic stem cells. A ...

Using human embryonic stem cells to create a type of cardiac cells known as sinotrial (SA) node pacemaker cells, a team of scientists from Israel and Canada have developed a biological pacemaker that ...
