Micra pacemaker can be connected directly with the heart and has a 10-year battery life. It is also approved for full body MRI scans.
Cardiac Pacemaker for Abnormal Heart Rhythms – Types, Advantages & Risks
A pacemaker stimulates the heart with electrical signals when it detects arrhythmias of the heart. Pacemakers are classified based on the number of lead electrodes used and the type of pacing involved.

The Micra TPS has an estimated 10-year battery life despite its miniaturized size and is approved for full body MRI scans, providing patients with access to the most advanced imaging diagnostic procedures.
Based on results from the first 60 patients in the Medtronic Micra TPS Global Clinical Trial the device was awarded CE Mark. The trial is still ongoing and will continue to evaluate the safety of the device.

Silent Atrial Fibrillation Increases Risk of Stroke
People suffering from subclinical atrial fibrillation, as detected by a pacemaker or defibrillator, are at an increased risk of suffering from stroke, according to the ASSERT study.

Children With Cardiac Pacemakers Have Decreased Quality of Life
A new study has found that children living with a cardiac pacemaker have a low sense of self-competence, which may also decrease the quality of life
