Medtronic CRT devices have been safely and effectively used for more than a decade to treat patients with mildly symptomatic, moderate or severe heart failure, and more recently for some patients with AV block and reduced ejection fraction, a measure of pumping function.
Heart failure affects 5.1 million Americans8 and results in more than 1 million hospitalizations yearly 9.
