KUALA LUMPUR: National Heart Institute (IJN) has achieved another milestone by becoming the first in Southeast Asia to successfully implant a pioneering extravascular implantable defibrillator (ICD) on Thursday (June 27).
The Aurora Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (EV-ICD), a first-of-its-kind device developed by Medtronic, provides hope for patients vulnerable to sudden cardiac arrests caused by abnormally fast heart rhythms.
