Boston Scientific Corporation develops, manufactures, and markets medical devices used in various interventional medical specialties worldwide.
Information gathered by an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) or pacemaker to evaluate a patient's rhythm status, verify system operation, or assure delivery of appropriate system therapies.
Industry:Medical devices
Simulation of the phrenic nerve or diaphragm by a pacing output pulse, causing a hiccough-like reaction.
Industry:Medical devices
The lowest blood pressure, measured in the arteries when the heart muscle is relaxed between beats. Diastole is the phase of the cardiac system where the heart rests.
Industry:Medical devices
The gradual opening of a narrowed artery by cracking and compressing the obstructive plaque.
Industry:Medical devices
A noninvasive test using sound waves to evaluate blood flow in the heart or blood vessels.
Industry:Medical devices
To pace and/or sense in both the right atrium and the right ventricle. See also pacemaker, dual-chamber.
Industry:Medical devices
A non-invasive test that records a sound wave picture of the heart and gives information about the heart valves and the function of the heart's muscular walls. An echo test can also measure ejection fraction (how efficiently the heart is pumping with each contraction).
Industry:Medical devices
A measurement of how well the heart is pumping. People with healthy hearts usually have an ejection fraction of 50% or greater. Ejection fraction can be measured by an echocardiogram (ECG) or with other diagnostic tests.
Industry:Medical devices
When the battery voltage in a pulse generator declines to a point at which replacement is indicated.
