Ischaemic Myocardium Defibrillators: Have You Been Hurt?

BREAKING NEWS: 10.15.07--Medtronic, Inc., the world's largest maker of electronic heart devices, announced they are suspending sales of Sprint Fidelis leads. According to the FDA, these wires, used to connect defibrillators to the heart, may break or erode and may increase chance of injury. Learn more about the Medtronic Sprint Fidelis Recall.

Did your Ischaemic Myocardium Defibrillator harm you? Did you trust it to save your life and have it almost take it instead? Know that you are not alone. The FDA has recalled several malfunctioning models of this potentially dangerous device.

Myocardial ischaemia is generally defined as a physical malady in which the heart doesn't work properly, and blood cells are injured. In this situation, myocardial ischaemia can manifest itself in several different ways:

  • Abrupt and complete cessation of coronary blood flow
  • myocardial perfusion
  • acute plaque rupture
  • vessel occlusion

    If you have been injured by this harmful device, contact the legal experts, and receive a free case review.

    If your or a loved has had an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator such as the recalled Guidant:

    1. CONTAK RENEWAL 2, Model H155

    2. CONTAK RENEWAL, Model H135, or

    3. PRIZM 2 DR, Model 1861

    An experienced attorney can help protect you!!!
