Therapies
These pulse generators have a small, thin, physiologic shape that minimizes pocket size and may minimize
device migration. They provide a variety of therapies, including:
•
Ventricular tachyarrhythmia therapy, which is used to treat rhythms associated with sudden cardiac
death (SCD) such as VT and VF
•
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT), which treats heart failure by resynchronizing ventricular
contractions through biventricular electrical stimulation
•
Bradycardia pacing, including adaptive rate pacing, to detect and treat bradyarrhythmias and to provide
cardiac rate support after de
fi
brillation therapy
Cardioversion/de
fi
brillation therapies include:
•
A range of low- and high-energy shocks using a biphasic waveform
