The FAME study’s two-year results affirm the advantages of using FFR in patients undergoing multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention. FFR-guided PCI significantly improves patient outcomes and results in reduced procedural and healthcare costs, without prolonging the cath lab procedure, compared to angiography alone.

The AnalyST Accel™ ICD from St. Jude Medical is the first ICD with a high-fidelity ST Monitoring diagnostic algorithm. This ST Monitoring diagnostic algorithm records important ST segment shifts and provides continuous and accurate information for unprecedented insight. An understanding of ST segment shifts can lead to more accurate correlation of specific clinical events including VT/VF episodes, enabling informed decision making. This new ST Monitoring diagnostic algorithm demonstrates the St. Jude Medical commitment to advancing the practice of medicine by reducing risk wherever possible and contributing to successful outcomes for every patient.

Intended audience: Healthcare professionals in select international markets.
