Soft robotic devices for cardiovascular medicine Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 17 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41569-026-01287-7Soft robotic devices, with tissue-like materials, structures and functions, are emerging as promising alternatives to rigid devices for cardiovascular disease, which have several fundamental limitations. In this Review, Ji and colleagues discuss three emerging frontiers in which soft robotic devices are redefining cardiovascular medicine: simulators, interventional instruments and implants for vascular disease, arrhythmia and heart failure. http://dlvr.it/TS56fS
