Heart failure is a widespread health concern. A person with a heart failure has 5 years shorter life expectancy compared to a person who has a cancer. Specifically, myocardial disease is usually involved with a treatment accompanied by an electrical conduction system. Cardiovascular problems must be found, monitored, prevented, and treated using implantable epicardial devices. When in contact with the epicardium, a typical epicardial bioelectronic device analyzes the electrical and physical properties of the heart, including electrocardiograms (ECGs), mechanical contraction and expansion behaviors, and pathological data. The gadgets can also offer therapeutic remedies. The ideal bioelectronic device should have different sensing capabilities as well as mechanical softness and deformability akin to cardiac tissue. In other words, to alleviate the physical burden to heart due to ventricular pacing, epicardial electronic system made of soft and elastic materials is needed. Newly developed materials are promising candidates to develop an epicardial system that could detect electrical signals of heart rapidly without hindering the physical movement and functions of heart even after few weeks. Multifunctional epicardial system that monitors electrical conduction of epicardium surface and stimulate epicardium simultaneously could be a powerful tool to diagnose and treat myocardial disease. In this review, we discuss candidate materials, which have softness for minimizing the stress to heart inside of our body. To overcome current technologies regarding sensor/therapeutic technology for heart disease, novel epicardial sensing/stimulation system that matches similar mechanical properties of heart was addressed in this article.
