Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, necessitating continuous advancements in medical interventions. Implantable devices have emerged as promising solutions for managing various aspects of cardiovascular pathologies. This comprehensive review explores the current landscape of innovative implants in the realm of cardiovascular diseases. The review begins by examining the pivotal role of implantable devices in addressing cardiac conditions, ranging from heart failure to arrhythmias. Focus is placed on cardiac rhythm management devices, including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices, highlighting their evolving technologies and clinical applications. Furthermore, the review delves into advancements in the field of cardiovascular stents, discussing novel materials and designs aimed at optimizing vascular patency while minimizing complications. The integration of drug-eluting technologies and bioresorbable materials into stent development is explored, with emphasis on their impact on patient outcomes. The discussion extends to ventricular assist devices (VADs) and total artificial hearts, elucidating their role in providing temporary or long-term mechanical circulatory support. A critical evaluation of challenges and future prospects in enhancing the biocompatibility and durability of these devices is presented. In addition, the review encompasses the burgeoning field of bioelectronic implants, elucidating how neuromodulation devices and bioelectronic medicine are revolutionizing the management of hypertension and heart failure. The integration of smart sensors and closed-loop systems for real-time monitoring and adaptive interventions is discussed in the context of personalized cardiovascular care. Ultimately, this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the diverse landscape of cardiovascular implants, offering sights into their evolving technologies, clinical efficacy, and potential avenues for future research and development.The continuous innovation in implantable devices holds great promise for improving the prognosis and quality of life for individuals affected by cardiovascular diseases.
