The first person in the United States has just received the world’s first dual chamber, leadless pacemaker system, a new innovation by Abbott roughly 1/10 the size of a traditional pacemaker.

Dr. Banker explains why this new technology is such a game changer. This is the first major advancement in pacemaker technology in roughly 50 years!
