Cardiac Rhythm Management Cardiac rhythm management is a field of treatment in cardiology. The purpose is managing cardiac rhythm disorders. Usually it involves artificial pacemakers and/or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy as well as antiarrhythmia drugs.  Business

Cardiac Rhythm Management reported revenues of $1.024 billion for the quarter, a 13 percent increase when compared to the same quarter one year ago.

Capturing more than 80 percent of the market's sequential growth and extending its clear market leadership through share gains, worldwide implantable defibrillator revenues grew 22 percent in the quarter. Growth was fueled by rapid uptake of the InSync II Marquis(TM) - the fourth high-powered heart failure device introduced by Medtronic within the last 18 months - and continued enthusiasm for the Marquis(R) family of implantable defibrillators. Other milestones for the quarter included the U.S. introduction of the high-output Maximo(TM) implantable defibrillator, the addition of the Marquis VR to the CareLink(TM) Network and the conclusion of the patient follow-up period for the landmark SCD-HeFT (Sudden Cardiac Death Sudden Cardiac Death Definition

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an unexpected death due to heart problems, which occurs within one hour from the start of any cardiac-related symptoms. SCD is sometimes called cardiac arrest.
 in Heart Failure) trial.

Worldwide pacing revenues were up 9 percent for the second quarter. Quarterly growth was driven by market share gains and continued acceptance of the company's unique low-powered heart failure offerings, the InSync(R) and the InSync(R) III, as well as preference for its full suite of pacemakers Pacemakers Definition

A pacemaker is a surgically-implanted electronic device that regulates a slow or erratic heartbeat.
Purpose

Pacemakers are implanted to regulate irregular contractions of the heart (arrhythmia).
. Additional highlights included the U.S. introduction of the Vitatron C-series, the world's first fully digital pacemaker pacemaker

Source of rhythmic electrical impulses that trigger heart contractions. In the heart's electrical system, impulses generated at a natural pacemaker are conducted to the atria and ventricles.
, and the European introduction of the EnPulse(TM), the world's first fully automatic pacing system. Medtronic anticipates both the U.S. launch of the EnPulse pacemaker and the addition of cardiac resynchronization therapy devices to the CareLink Network by the end of the calendar year.

Collectively, implantable defibrillator and pacing revenues (Arrhythmia arrhythmia (ārĭth`mēə), disturbance in the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. Various arrhythmias can be symptoms of serious heart disorders; however, they are usually of no medical significance except in the presence of  Management) increased more than 15 percent.

Medtronic Physio-Control revenues were down 5 percent for the quarter.

Vascular Business

Vascular posted quarterly revenues of $194.2 million, with growth up slightly versus the same period one year ago.

Significant share gains in several segments of the market contributed to the quarter's performance.

    understand Medtronic's short-term and long-term financial trends,
