World first trial to test human implant of HeartPOD
30th Nov 2005, 15:11 GMT
Researchers at The Alfred and Monash University are leading a world first trial to investigate whether the implantation of a specially designed HeartPODTM monitoring system in heart failure patients can keep them out of hospital and lead to a better quality of life. The study, known as the HOMEOSTASIS study, aims to evaluate the safety and performance of the HeartPODTM system, which is designed to monitor and detect worsening congestive heart failure before the onset of symptoms and provide early preventative treatment, thus avoiding emergency hospitalisation.
