Leadless Pacemakers Offer Safer, Less Invasive Heart Rhythm Treatment
Arrhythmias are irregular heartbeats that can be dangerous if not treated.
Traditional pacemakers use wires and a chest incision, which can cause problems like infection.
New leadless pacemakers are tiny devices that go straight into the heart through a vein in the leg, so there are no wires or scars.
Doctors and companies like Abbott say these devices help patients recover faster and feel better.
It’s still important to see a doctor early if you notice odd heartbeats, so you can get the right treatment.
