What makes the Micra transcatheter pacemaker an innovation is because the first artificial cardiac pacemaker was invented in 1932 by Albert Hyman .In 1951 the first external pacemaker that had to be plugged into power points was created by John Hopps . Twenty one years later the Lithium-ion battery pacemaker was produced. And it took only one year to improve the pacemaker to be programmed through computing chips .The pacemaker decreased in size in the early 80’s In 1986 the pacemaker was created to use integrated circuits And in the time period of 1990-2012 the pacemaker evolved by getting smaller and easier to put in .
The reason way I say the Micra transcatheter is an innovation is because the pacemaker has evolved enormously over the decades
