St Jude Frontier II

I am scheduled to have a CRT-P implanted on 4 Mar 11 and found most devices similar in ability to resynch the heart. For this reason and that I want to keep my bulge to a minimum my doctor recommended the St Jude Frontier II. Everything I read looks fine. Can anyone offer a valid arguement for a different device. This will be a CRT-P not D as we are trying to correct a nonischemic cardiomyopathy that after five years has my QRS wave at 170 and my LVEF at 33%. My only symptom is a little less endurance. Any comments. Thanks.

Hi I was just thinking about you. Have you had your CRT-P implanted yet? If so how are you doing . Also which device did you decide to go with? Hope all is well. Susu

After some discussion and availabilty concerns, we are going with the Boston Scientific Contak Renewal crt-p. I go at 6:00am tomorrow and procedure at 8:15am. Release will be around 1:30pm Sat. Everything is set. Being non-ischemic, I am hoping for great results from the device and reduce my risk of SCA without going all the way with an ICD (at least for now).

You have the perfect reason to show off your chest.
