Advancements and unmet needs in pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).

Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are medical devices that have revolutionized the treatment of heart rhythm disorders. They provide electrical stimulation to the heart muscles, helping regulate the heart rate and rhythm. Over the years, these devices have undergone significant advancements, making them more effective and convenient for patients.

One of the most significant advancements in recent years is the incorporation of wireless technology. Pacemakers and ICDs can now communicate with smartphones and tablets, allowing doctors to monitor patients remotely. This is particularly beneficial for patients who live in remote areas or have difficulty visiting the hospital frequently.

Another significant development is the availability of leadless devices. These devices do not require leads, reducing the risk of infection and eliminating the need for lead extraction surgery. Additionally, certain pacemakers and ICDs are now designed to be MRI-compatible, which was previously a concern due to potential interference with the device's functionality.

While these advancements have been beneficial, this field still has unmet needs. For example, pacemakers and ICDs require surgery to replace the batteries, which can be inconvenient and risky for patients. There is a need for improved battery life, which would reduce the frequency of battery replacement surgeries.

Another unmet need is better detection and treatment of arrhythmias. While pacemakers and ICDs are effective at treating heart rhythm disorders, they do not always detect all arrhythmias and may not provide optimal therapy for certain patients. As such, there is a need for improved algorithms and programming of these devices to better detect and treat arrhythmias.

Finally, minimizing complications associated with the implantation of these devices is also an unmet need. Implantation can cause complications such as infection, lead dislodgement, and bleeding. There is a need for improved techniques and materials that can reduce the risk of complications during implantation.

The market for pacemakers and ICDs is dominated by key players such as Medtronic, Abbott Laboratories, Boston Scientific Corporation, Biotronik SE & Co. KG, and LivaNova PLC. These companies continue to invest in research and development, bringing new and innovative products to the market.

There are several types of pacemakers and ICDs available, including single-chamber pacemakers, dual-chamber pacemakers, and biventricular pacemakers. Similarly, single-chamber ICDs, dual-chamber ICDs, and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) ICDs are also available. The choice of device depends on the patient's specific condition and needs.

In conclusion, pacemakers and ICDs have come a long way in the past few decades, providing a safe and effective treatment for heart rhythm disorders. While there are still unmet needs in this field, continued advancements in technology and research will help to improve patient outcomes and reduce complications associated with these devices.

Possible complications or side effects of having pacemakers are infection at the implant site, bleeding or bruising around the implant site, damage to nerves or blood vessels near implant site and dislodgement or malfunction of wires or device.

I like to think that if Thanos had, hypothetically, given Loki any mechanical bodily enhancements (like his other 'children' have) then it would simply go unnoticed until death, since no one ever bothered checking in with how Loki was doing

Imagine you’re working this shitty retail job for an unbearable amount of hours with no other coworkers. Suddenly, a cop throws in two guys who he says are gonna work with you. They say no, they’re actually supposed to see the president. You show them the break room and they dismantle your microwave because apparently it has like, the map to the city of gold or something. So you help them stowaway on a train going directly into the depths of the Amazon rainforest. You crash, you get lost, see weird animals n shit, and then suddenly meet like. King Arthur. And this Arthur guy tells you that your wagie job is ACTUALLY a secret ploy by the president who allied with Conquistadors from 500 years ago and you’re supposed to have superpowers but your president stole them from you to invent classism.

So you get kidnapped but that’s the least of you worries rn because The President just found you, and you go back to your stupid wagie city, one of your new coworkers is suddenly talking about killing the bourgeois, blows your other new coworker to smithereens, which is okay because he then comes back to life as the new president (which is pretty good because the old one got publicly executed thirty seconds earlier) and now you’re in the secret service.

It has been two days. You’re not even sure if you got fired.

And your hands can turn into knives.
