Patient Conditions & Therapies

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a chaotic, uncontrolled heart rhythm that occurs when the upper chambers of the heart contract rapidly and irregularly.

Bradycardia is a condition in which the heart beats too slowly. A person with bradycardia may benefit from a cardiac pacemaker.

Heart failure (HF) is an increasing dysfunction of the pumping action in the heart. HF symptoms can be treated using a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device.

This kit includes media materials on spinal cord stimulation, a method of pain control for the management of chronic pain of the trunk and limbs or pain resulting from failed back surgery.

Patients with ventricular arrhythmias or patients who experience sudden cardiac arrest can benefit from an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), which can shock the heart back into a normal rhythm.

There are many causes of heart valve disease. When a valve becomes damaged, and blood flow is compromised, the valve may need to be repaired with a ring or replaced with a mechanical or tissue valve.
