Electronic- cardiac catheter

“[R]esearchers [at George Washington and Northwestern Universities] have developed a new type of catheter that conforms well with soft tissues, making it easier to access and treat cardiac conditions while significantly reducing the time required for each procedure. Moreover, the new catheter contains soft electronics, such as temperature and pressure sensors, that allow it to analyze the tissue around itself.”  MORE
