Cardiac Rhythm Management

Our focus

Groundbreaking technologies that monitor, support diagnosis, and treat irregular heart rhythms, heart failure and sudden cardiac arrest.

Mike's story

We are collaborating with healthcare professionals to help improve outcomes, enhance patients' lives, and reduce costs with the most advanced and least invasive cardiac rhythm management monitoring and therapeutic technologies available.

Delivering meaningful innovation

Improving patient management through personalized care.

Our MR-conditional Resonate™ family of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) systems feature the HeartLogic™ Heart Failure Diagnostic to help physicians improve heart failure (HF) management. SmartCRT™ Technology incorporated in the devices helps physicians determine where, when and how to pace, while industry-leading device longevity is provided through EnduraLife™ Battery Technology.

Pioneering progressive ICD therapy.

The EMBLEM™ MRI S-ICD System is the only MR-conditional subcutaneous implantable defibrillator (S-ICD) that provides protection for patients at risk for sudden cardiac death. Because it provides protection without touching the heart or substernal space, the device eliminates many of the complications associated with transvenous leads placed in those locations. The EMBLEM S-ICD System is placed entirely outside the rib cage and just beneath the skin of a patient, and avoids complications associated with more invasive leads.

For the rhythms of life.

Boston Scientific Cardiac Diagnostics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Boston Scientific, provides mobile health solutions and remote monitoring services that connect physicians with patients threatened by cardiac arrhythmias. The BodyGuardian™ family of remote, wearable cardiac monitors is led by sophisticated ambulatory cardiac monitoring technology, and along with the PatientCare platform offers near real-time analysis of ambulatory echocardiogram data designed to support clinical diagnosis and outcomes. The BeatLogic technology applies artificial intelligence to support clinician decision making.

Conditions we treat

  • Heart Rhythm Disorders
  • Sudden Cardiac Arrest
  • Heart Failure

≈6.2M

An estimated 6.2M American adults were diagnosed with heart failure between 2013 and 2016.3

356K+

More than 356K people experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrests annually in the U.S., and nearly 90% of those incidents are fatal.4

280K

In 2016, approximately 280K emergency visits in the U.S. were for tachycardias and another 115K were for bradycardias.5

≈38M

An estimated 38M people globally have atrial fibrillation (Afib).5

13%

Approximately 13% of the estimated 5.3 million cases of Afib in the U.S. are undiagnosed.6
