Implantable heart device reduces deaths by one-third

-third. The last breakthrough of this magnitude was the introduction of beta-blockers in the 1970s.

The study found infrequent serious complications from an implanted defibrillator, but the incidence of new or worsened heart failure in the ICD group was slightly higher. Concerned by that finding, Moss says the research team investigated how often the device shocked a patients heart back to a normal rhythm, as well as what type of heart malfunction was occurring when the device fired. They found no evidence that the device itself worsens an existing heart condition. Its more likely, Moss says, that by prolonging the life of patients with serious heart disease, the patients with ICDs were more apt to develop additional problems that could not be helped by the defibrillator.
