The Cardiac Rhythm Management segment offers products for cardiac arrhythmias, or irregular heart beats. Its products include tachycardia implantable cardioverter defibrillator systems to provide therapy to patients suffering from lethal heart conditions, such as sudden cardiac arrest; cardiac resynchronization therapy devices to treat heart failure patients; pacemakers to help people whose hearts beat too slowly or who suffer from other cardiac arrhythmias; and leads, which connect devices to the heart and carry the electrical impulses to the heart and information from the heart back to the device. The Cardiovascular segment provides mechanical and tissue replacement heart valves, as well as heart valve repair products. It also offers disposable interventional devices, including vascular closure devices, percutaneous catheter introducers, diagnostic guidewires, and temporary bipolar pacing catheters. The Atrial Fibrillation segment provides a system of products for access, diagnosis, visualization, and ablation that assist physicians in diagnosing and treating various irregular heart rhythms used in the electrophysiology lab and cardiac surgery.
