needs.
-- Stored Onset Electrograms (EGM): This feature provides diagnostic
information about the patient's heart rhythm before the onset of an
arrhythmia, enabling physicians to more easily and effectively
troubleshoot patient arrhythmias. Boston Scientific's proprietary
design enables continuous onset EGM monitoring without reducing battery
longevity, a key difference from most competitive pacemakers.
-- Minute Ventilation (MV) Blended Sensor: This proprietary technology
treats a condition called Chronotropic Incompetence (CI), which is the
inability of the heart to regulate its rate appropriately in response
to physical activity and emotional stress. Boston Scientific's MV
Blended Sensor is the only sensor that has been shown to restore
Chronotropic Competence, enabling a patient's heart rate to function
appropriately in different situations such as carrying groceries or
climbing stairs. This feature is only available in the ALTRUA 60 and
40 series.
