In this episode of MedTech Unplugged, we’re joined by Dr. Ulrika Birgersdotter-Green from UC San Diego for an in-depth look at the remarkable journey of cardiac pacing. Dr. Green traces the origins of pacemakers, from the earliest innovations to the sophisticated devices we use today.
The discussion culminates with one of the most exciting breakthroughs in electrophysiology—leadless pacemakers—and how this technology is redefining patient care and shaping the future of pacing therapy.
Listeners will learn about:
The historical milestones of pacemaker development
How engineering advances have improved patient outcomes
The promise and potential of leadless pacemakers
Whether you’re a student entering the MedTech field, a clinician, or an innovator, this episode offers a fascinating perspective on how far we’ve come—and where technology is taking us next.
🎧 Tune in to explore the past, present, and future of cardiac pacing.
