Current pacemakers pace the heart at a steady rhythm, but they don’t actually mimic the irregular nuances of a healthy human heart. Analysis of heart rate frequency reveals that heart rate is actually coupled to your breathing. It goes up on inspiration, and down on expiration. A recent Study Finds article discussed an innovative new “bionic” pacemaker that restores this natural, irregular heartbeat. Perhaps the best part is that the team has found a way to reverse heart failure.
