His pacemaker resistor made the device reliable enough to be implanted in a human heart — directly responsible for keeping millions of people alive today. Boykin himself died of heart failure in 1982, never witnessing the full scale of what his work had saved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e→ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/buillth.com\/pages\/otis-boykin\"\u003eRead the full story of Otis Boykin on the Buillth inventor page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S","offer_id":49286952878330,"sku":"19220321684139594946","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ M","offer_id":49286952911098,"sku":"29591296415138725173","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L","offer_id":49286952943866,"sku":"15422654308122702686","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL","offer_id":49286952976634,"sku":"14841138976353289248","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 2XL","offer_id":49286953009402,"sku":"31316046533247431642","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/7666\/7898\/files\/Pacemaker_Resistor_Blk_Innovation_Schematic_-_Black.jpg?v=1783921130","url":"https:\/\/buillth.com\/products\/otis-boykin-pacemaker-resistor-never-forget-black-innovation-archive-edition-t-shirt-buillth","provider":"Buillth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
