Douglas Wolfe, M. D., a cardiologist with Cardiovascular Associates, has implanted the first fully digital pacemaker in Mississippi. He performed the procedure at Baptist Medical Center in Jackson, Miss.
The Vitatron C-Series pacemaker helps individuals whose hearts beat too slowly support the needs of their circulatory systems. It features Digital Signal Processing that converts analog data into digital data for more precise data collection and faster data processing. Vitatron C-Series devices are designed to help physicians quickly and easily achieve an optimal pacing pattern for each patient.
Using an external programmer during patient follow-up sessions, clinicians can download extensive pacemaker diagnostic data in less than 18 seconds. After evaluating stored diagnostic information, the therapy advisor feature automatically points out areas for suggested physician review and offers programming recommendations. Device reprogramming can be completed in as few as two seconds.
