Heart device helps Greif survive dangerous heart failure
Loras Greif, a warehouseman, received a Contak CD defibrillator after rapid heart decline left him faint and barely able to walk. The implanted guide wire and three leads restored ventricular synchronization, improving breathing and alertness within days, with the costly procedure projected at 50 000 to 60 000 dollars and a seven year battery life. Medtronics plans a rival device, as experts expect adoption to rise since about half of heart failure cases involve sudden cardiac death.
