Maximize Therapy Impact

Gallant™ ICD and CRT-D Devices

Gallant ICDs and CRT-Ds

Available in DF-4 and DF-1 configurations to improve quality of life for patients at every stage of therapy.

Abbott Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillators (CRT-Ds) are built with exclusive algorithms proven to deliver better patient outcomes that have the potential to save more lives. It is this type of innovation that drives us at Abbott to personalize therapy and restore quality of life for patients. 

Options to Achieve the Narrowest QRS for Improved Response.1

 

 

SyncAV™ CRT technology provides the most QRS narrowing options at implant for patients. QRS narrowing after CRT implantation allows improved mortality. In patients with LBBB, QRS narrowing after CRT implant is associated with 2x lower mortality.2

24% narrower QRS

Potential to Save More Lives with Therapy Assurance.

VF Therapy Assurance is the only technology to provide an additional safety net for difficult-to-detect ventricular arrhythmias. Without VF Therapy Assurance, ventricular tachyarrhythmias with low and varying signal amplitudes may not be successfully identified.3,4

of patients who received HV therapy due to VF Therapy Assurance's enhanced detection would have been otherwise untreated for potentially life-threatening arrhythmias.

Protect Patients with a Physiologic Waveform. No DFT Test Needed.

 

 

DeFT Response™ technology is the industry’s most flexible option for the management of high defibrillation thresholds. The algorithm supports a 10J shock safety margin for patients.5

Why Do We Implant Defibrillators?
Because every patient deserves life-saving therapy.

Abbott’s ICD and CRT-D platforms are designed with a focus on providing the best outcome for the patient. See the story of Rob, a United States Navy veteran, who experienced cardiac arrest while in the best shape of his life.

His heart had to be shocked five times on the way to the hospital, and doctors did not believe he would make it. After being implanted with a Gallant ICD, Rob and his family feel confident that he is now receiving the therapy he needs to stay alive.
