Vanessa Pau is a Senior Scientist in the Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure unit (formerly known as Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management) of Medtronic in Minneapolis. Medtronic’s work in heart rhythm therapies dates back to 1957, when co-founder Earl Bakken developed the first wearable heart pacemaker to treat abnormally slow heart rates. Pau designs experiments and integrates medical imaging techniques to see how implanted cardiac devices interact with the human body.
