Graphical Abstract Bioresorbable Cardiac Patch Bioresorbable materials have great potential in implantable and temporal biomedical devices. In article number 2303429, Guillermo Antonio Ameer, John A. Rogers, and co-workers demonstrate a highly conductive and elastic bioresorbable cardiac patch to treat myocardial infarction and other cardiac disorders.

Abstract Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of death and disability. Recently developed cardiac patches provide mechanical support and additional conductive paths to promote electrical signal propagation in the MI area to synchronize cardiac excitation and contraction. Cardiac patches based on conductive polymers offer attractive features; however, the modest levels of elasticity and high impedance interfaces limit their mechanical and electrical performance.
