May 17, 2010
By Lynn Yoffee
Interventional cardiologists already know that drug-eluting stents (DES) do a better job of keeping the blood flowing through narrowed arteries than the bare metal variety.

Women reap twice the benefits of men with HF CRT-D device

May 14, 2010
By Lynn Yoffee
On the heels of a unanimous FDA panel recommendation in March for an expanded indication of Boston Scientific's (Natick, Massachusetts) cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds), including the Cognis CRT-D for asymptomatic and mild heart failure patients, a new sub-analysis of the MADIT-CRT trial has shown that women with mild heart disease who had a CRT-D implanted had a 70% reduction in heart failure alone and a 72% reduction in death from any cause.
