Pacemaker study to help heart patients avoid hospital
New research that we're funding at The University of Manchester has the potential to help patients stay out of hospital. By monitoring data collected by pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), researchers hope to use patients' activity levels to predict when they might be becoming ill, and intervene before a hospital stay becomes necessary.
