Heart Failure

We’re dedicated to developing heart failure innovations that may help with early detection of worsening heart failure, enhance clinical efficiencies and improve patients’ lives. From devices powered by the industry’s longest battery life^1-9 to a heart failure diagnostic that helps you triage your patients, explore our pioneering technologies that give you the power to do things that once seemed out of reach.

Device Longevity in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators Differs Between Manufacturers: Data from the Danish ICD Registry. Presented at HRS 2014. http://ondemand.hrsonline.org/common/presentation-detail.aspx/15/35/1241/9000. Boston Scientific = 136 patients, Medtronic = 651 patients, St. Jude Medical = 1,587 patients, Bitronik = 369 patients. Time to exchange of the device because of battery depletion or device failure recorded in the Danish ICD Registry was the endpoint. The four-year survival rate for devices in the Danish Registry study was 81.1% for Medtronic and 95.7% for Boston Scientific (P<0.01).
