Abstract
- The article focuses on the use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) in treating heart failure. It says that ICD can help determine a heart rate by analyzing the frequency of the information signals it receives from the heart. It mentions that ICD may deliver unnecessary shock. It adds that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the Medtronic's Protecta ™ portfolio of ICDs with SmartShock ™ Technology.
