Researchers have developed a new dissolving cardiac device that can monitor and treat heart disease and dysfunction. The device is soft, flexible, and wireless and it can be placed on various sections of the heart. It continuously streams information to physicians so they can remotely monitor a patient’s heart in real time. After the device is no longer needed, it harmlessly dissolves inside the body. This new device could revolutionize the way heart disease is monitored and treated. It could help to prevent deaths that occur following heart surgery or a heart attack.
