The simulation results presented here demonstrate the potential of the adaptive CRT device with dynamic optimization of AV and VV intervals for improving cardiac output beyond the current non-adaptive ...

Tampa, FL (Dec. 11, 2009) -- Most patients with heart failure likely to benefit from a pacemaker including the capacity for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) do not receive such an implantable ...

Medtronic CRT-D Devices Demonstrate Survival Benefits for Mildly Symptomatic Heart Failure Patients in Two Pivotal Clinical Trials MINNEAPOLIS – Medtronic, Inc. today announced that the U.S. Food and ...

PLATINIUM, released simultaneously in both Europe and Japan by LivaNova (formerly Sorin Group), will protect patients from avoidable replacement surgeries and the inherent risk of complications.

Treatment of iron deficiency in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) at least 6 months after implantation with a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device can improve ...

The company identified 7 studies that incorporated a cost-effectiveness analysis. It did not rely on these economic studies for its model, but the structure of the de novo model is similar to that ...

CHICAGO, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Patients with mild to moderate heart failure benefited from an implanted Medtronic Inc device that combines a pacemaker to coordinate pumping with a defibrillator that ...

Placement of devices that synchronize the pumping chambers of the heart in patients while they're hospitalized for a congestive heart failure episode appears to lower patients' risk of death or ...

CHICAGO, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Patients with mild to moderate heart failure benefited from an implanted Medtronic Inc device that combines a pacemaker to coordinate pumping with a defibrillator that ...

The case for the use of intravenous iron therapy for some patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) has strengthened in recent years, with several trials showing gains in ...

The heart is a finely tuned machine, pumping and squeezing to move blood through the body with a fresh supply of oxygen and nutrients. Electrical activity provides the spark to coordinate and activate ...

The ENDURALIFE battery technology (Boston Scientific) is designed to extend the battery life of Boston Scientific cardiac resynchronisation therapy-defibrillator (CRT‑D) devices. CRT‑Ds are a ...
