St Jude Medical to display heart health devices at new show

St Jude Medical is showcasing a number of its latest cardiovascular healthcare devices at an industry event.

The medical device company is attending the American College of Cardiology Conference to demonstrate solutions relating to the fields of cardiology, cardiac surgery, atrial fibrillation and cardiac rhythm management.

These include its Engage Introducers for accessing the heart via femoral blood vessels, the EnSite Velocity cardiac mapping system and the Accent RF and Anthem RF pacemakers.

Other products on display include mechanical heart valves, ablation catheters, defibrillation leads and stented tissue valves.

Frank Callaghan, president of the St Jude Medical Cardiovascular Division, said: “St Jude Medical is pleased to showcase our latest cardiac care solutions, from technologies that help to better connect patients to physicians, to devices proven to improve patient outcomes.”

Earlier this month, the company published trial data for its new left atrial pressure management system, which showed its advantages in helping patients regulate their own medication regimes.
