St. Jude Medical Announces FDA Approval of First U.S. Heart Failure Device with AF Suppression Technology | salesandmarketingnetwork.com
1. This technology has been in SJM pacemakers for long enough that we know AF is not eliminated - merely reduced in amount
2. Reduction in AF burden does not translate into reduced need for anticoagulation in this high risk population
3. Reduction in AF burden does not translate into reduction in clinical end-points such as stroke
4. The AF-suppression algorithm increases heart rate significantly and may (in theory) undermine the benefits of CRT
New studies suggest DES may improve outcome in the setting of AMI

The studies reported in the recent issues of NEJM are significant in that they provide evidence that DES in the setting of AMI with ST elevation may improve outcome. Taxel-eluting stents showed nonsignificant improvement in adverse cardiac events, but sirolimus-eluting stents showed a significant reduction in target vessel revascularization
