Medtronic (R) InSync (R) III biventricular pacing system: cardiac resynchronisation therapy in patients with congestive heart failure
Parrella, A, Merlin, T
Record ID 32006000604
English
Authors' results and conclusions:
Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) has recognised benefits for patients with heart failure. If the new biventricular pacing devices are found to be more effective than the existing CRT technologies, it is likely that they will simply replace the current models.
Authors' recommendations:
HealthPACT recommends that this technology be referred to the Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC) for a full health technology assessment (HTA).
