Evaluation: Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillators—Comparing Key Features
June 24, 2015 | Evaluations & Guidance
Preview
Cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) are implanted in patients to help treat cardiac conditions stemming from problems with the heart's electrical conduction system—particularly ventricular dyssynchrony, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation.
