Which Brand of Pacemaker / ICD is Best ?

So your doctor has advised you to be implanted with a pacemaker or ICD based on your indications.

Should you be concerned as to which BRAND of device he / she implants ?

No. There are several fine medical device companies out there and all make great devices. All devices go through stringent quality control measures and thorough testing via U.S. FDA procedures before approval is given in the United States.

The major, top brands include: BIOTRONIK, BOSTON SCIENTIFIC, MEDTRONIC AND ST. JUDE MEDICAL

You'd be good with any of these.

Talk with your doctor as specific device features may be a priority to your situation.
