Innovative Therapies
To Address the World’s Most Pressing Chronic Diseases

Cardiac Rhythm Disorders
1 Atrial Fibrillation*
Radio frequency (heating) and cryo (freezing) ablation technologies that
isolate abnormal electrical activity in the heart.
2 Slow Heart Rates (Bradycardia)
Implantable and external pacemakers that regulate slow heart rates.
3 Fast Heart Rates (Tachycardia)
Implantable and external defibrillators to regulate or shock fast heart rates
that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest, one of the nation’s leading causes
of death.
4 Heart Failure
Implantable cardiac resynchronization therapy systems that help the heart
beat in a coordinated fashion to improve its blood-pumping ability.
5 Asymptomatic, Irregular Heart Rates
Insertable cardiac monitors that can help diagnose episodes of atrial
fibrillation and heart-related causes of recurrent, unexplained fainting.
Cardiovascular Diseases
6 Coronary Artery Disease
Implantable stents, as well as diagnostic and guiding catheters and
angioplasty balloons, to open blocked heart arteries. Perfusion systems for
arrested-heart surgery and heart stabilization systems for beating-heart
surgery to bypass blocked arteries to improve blood supply to the heart.
7 Heart Valve Disease
Implantable annuloplasty devices and valves to treat damaged heart
valves.
8 Aortic Disease
Implantable endovascular stent grafts that provide support for a weakened
and ballooning aorta, which runs through the chest and abdomen, and
distributes blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
9 Peripheral Vascular Disease*
Balloon catheters and implantable stents that treat blockages in blood
vessels beyond the heart and in the bile duct.

* Still in development or not cleared/approved for marketing in the United States.
Remote Monitoring available with select cardiac devices
Systems for clinicians to follow patients and their implanted cardiac devices remotely,
eliminating the need for some in-office visits.
