Mashup Score: 15How Sure Can We Be About Optisure? « CardioExchange - 9 month(s) ago
On March 24, St. Jude Medical announced the global launch of the Optisure family of ICD leads. It’s been a while since a new ICD lead was launched, and I’m probably not the only one who was caught by surprise. I’d like to explore why this approval is important for the ICD community. First, a brief history of ICD leads from St. Jude. St. Jude Medical developed its own line of ICD leads after it purchase d the former ICD vendor Ventritex in 1996. The first-generation Riata lead, approved in 2001, was

@drjohnm @venkmurthy Until ARTESIA, yours was my take as well. But, how do you reconcile these results? Apixaban associated with increased major bleeding by factor of 1.8 compared to Aspirin. https://t.co/jWETM27Qnk https://t.co/V77jAZouzj

Context Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy with backup ventricular pacing increases survival in patients with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Most currently implanted ICD devices provide dual-chamber pacing therapy. The most common comorbid cause for mortality in this…

@drjohnm I put DAVID in same category. Trial was industry sponsored & obviously designed to promote use of dual chamber ICDs (new at the time). Findings were the opposite. RV pacing is harmful. Upended decades of assumptions about the safety of RV pacing. https://t.co/MIqkD0MLgL
