Though journal articles and newspaper reports suggest that three Hyman pacemakers existed or were intended; a patent, descriptive photographs and a written description of an earlier model and only a photograph of a later model exist. A replica of the earlier has been made based on the patent and description, and a new replica of the second based on a critical deconstruction and analysis of the photograph of the second with a modern circuit duplicating the function of the earlier circuit. Both… Expand

    TLDR
    Based on the authors’ experience, all five implants yielded favorable outcomes with the exception of a case of transient postoperative numbness in the ipsilateral arm with no pain or functional mobility impairment that eventually resolved without intervention. Expand
    Cardiac pacing: from biological to electronic ... to biological?
    TLDR
    The history of the disease process being treated, approaches now in progress, and the demands that must be met if biological therapies are to be successful are reviewed. Expand
    The past, present, and future of pacemaker therapies.
    TLDR
    Whether new generations of electronic pacemakers will erase lingering concerns with regard to electronic pacing or whether biologicals will ultimately supplement or supplant electronics remains to be seen. Expand
    In vivo stress analysis of a pacing lead from an angiographic sequence.
    TLDR
    A method is presented to analyze the mechanical stress distribution in a pacing lead based on a sequence of paired 2D angiographic images and an excellent agreement in curvature, twist angle, and stresses was achieved. Expand
    Molecular therapies for bradyarrhythmias
    TLDR
    Biological pacemakers under development exploring the use of gene and cell therapy to restore cardiac pacing using viral vector-mediated gene transfer to stem cell-based approaches and ongoing research efforts focus on the optimization of long-term biological pacing. Expand

    TLDR
    Three main areas of application for in-vivo devices are examined: surface devices and short/medium-term and long-term implants and the issues of biocompatibility and safety will be discussed. Expand
    Basic science for the clinical electrophysiologist
    TLDR
    The basic mechanisms of arrhythmia are reviewed as are the mechanisms of atrial fibrillation, which are an excellent refresher for practicing cardiac electrophysiologists as well as a helpful resource for residents and fellows. Expand

    The Mysterious Fate of Hyman's Pacemaker
    TLDR
    The work of Albert S. Hyman has for decades particularly intrigued historians of heart electrostimulation, because in the early 1930s Hyman invented an artificial pacemaker and this article attempts to reconstruct Hyman’s ideas and purposes, describe the workings and limitations of the invention, and contribute information that may help to illuminate the mysterious fate of Hyman's pacemaker.

    Endocardial threshold of cardiac response as a function of electrode surface area.
    TLDR
    Threshold of cardiac response to endocardial stimulation has been determined as a function of electrode surface area and it has been that electrodes should be matched to the pulse generator output capacity and that an excessively large electrode will yield high acute thresholds and chronic thresholds above the output capacity of some pacemakers. Expand
    Energy consumption for cardiac stimulation as a function of pulse duration.
    TLDR
    Studies were performed of the threshold of cardiac stimulation as a function of impulse duration in dogs, acutely, and in humans acutely and chronically, finding that an impulse duration of 0.5 to 0.75 msec is more economical for production of ventricular systole. Expand
