Intrinsic ATP

Intrinsic ATP™ is the only automated and smart ventricular antitachycardia pacing (ATP) algorithm that provides individualized therapy in real time.

In a virtual modeling study, Intrinsic ATP’s termination rate was 22% higher than traditional ATP (burst) with no difference in acceleration rate.7

STREAMLINED WORKFLOWS & HEART FAILURE MANAGEMENT 

TriageHF™|| is a simplified, integrated heart failure risk assessment tool that alerts clinicians to clinically relevant changes in a patient’s status that may lead to a heart failure decompensation.

Patient’s risk level is
generated by assessing8:

  • OptiVol™
  • Patient Activity
  • AT/AF Burden
  • Ventricular Rate during AT/AF
  • % Ventricular Pacing
  • Shocks
  • Treated VT/VF
  • Night Ventricular Rate
  • Heart Rate Variability

TriageHF is not an alarm. The TriageHF assessment does not replace heart failure assessments in standard clinical practice. Medical treatment should not be modified remotely based solely on the TriageHF assessment. Interpretation of the TriageHF assessment requires clinical judgement by a medical professional. The TriageHF assessment should be used in conjunction with professional guidelines for patient management decisions.
