Nearly 700,000 people die each year in the United States from heart disease, and one-third of those deaths are due to complications in the first weeks or months after a heart-related trauma.To prevent these deaths, researchers at Northwestern University and George Washington (GW) University are monitoring and treating heart disease and dysfunction in the days, weeks, and months after these fatal events. We have developed a new device for this purpose. Additionally, once the device is no longer needed, it dissolves harmlessly in the body, eliminating the need for extraction.This soft, flexible device, about the size of a postage stamp,…
