Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm And Heart Failure

This study tested a special pacemaker designed to be safe during MRI scans. 484 people with a slow heartbeat got the pacemaker, and some had an MRI. The results showed the pacemaker worked just as well before and after the scan, with no serious complications from the MRI itself.

This study tested a new type of wire (lead) for implantable heart devices that deliver shocks to stop dangerous fast heart rhythms. Researchers checked how safe and effective the lead was in 998 people who needed a defibrillator or heart failure device. The lead was placed in a s…

This study tested a new way to manage heart failure using a small heart monitor (Reveal LINQ) and a special algorithm. The goal was to see if this approach could safely guide treatment and improve outcomes for people with moderate heart failure. 826 participants with NYHA class I…

This study tested a new type of implantable defibrillator (EV ICD) in 14 Japanese patients with dangerous heart rhythms. The device is placed outside the heart and blood vessels to deliver a shock if a life-threatening fast heartbeat occurs. The main goals were to check safety (n…

This study gathered information from 254 adults in Mexico with heart failure and reduced pumping ability. Researchers tracked their medical history, treatments, and progress to understand how the disease is managed in everyday practice. The goal was to identify common treatments …

This study checked if special heart devices (pacemakers and defibrillators) are safe during strong 3.0 Tesla MRI scans. 64 people with these devices had an MRI and were followed for one month. The goal was to see if any serious problems happened because of the MRI.
