Atrial fibrillation affects more than 37 million people worldwide and remains a leading cause of stroke, heart failure, and cardiovascular morbidity. While rhythm control has demonstrated superiority over rate control, achieving acute AF termination without high-energy shock remains an unmet clinical need.
The following work was accepted for poster presentation at the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) 2026 Annual Scientific Sessions in Chicago, IL, comparing AF termination efficacy of the closed-loop SRT adaptive algorithm versus a fixed programmed pulse sequence across patient-derived persistent AF substrates.

An interactive, physiologically realistic (PR), and accurate computer simulation allows multiple scenarios to be tested in a “live” environment and has become a key step in the rapid development and testing of treatment strategies for atrial fibrillation (AF). Develop an accurate model of AF that allows the user to define the regions and zones of anisotropic conduction to test the effectiveness of a variety of AF treatment strategies.

About 30% of patients with impaired cardiac function have ventricular desynchrony and seek cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In this study, we demonstrate synchronized biventricular (BiV) pacing in a leadless fashion by implementing miniaturized and wirelessly powered pacemakers.

New advancements in pacemaker technology have pushed the field from traditional pacemakers to leadless pacemakers to mitigate risks. While current leadless pacemakers reduce the risks associated with leads, they have not been able to substantially reduce the size and weight of these pacemakers, limiting their ability to pace from multiple chambers. This proof-of-concept study shows our wirelessly powered microchip can pace the ventricular myocardium and demonstrates potential for these kinds of devices.
