Helping VA heart doctors pick better heart devices
This study looks at ways to help heart rhythm doctors who work in certain VA regions choose better heart devices (like pacemakers and defibrillators) for their patients. If you are a VA doctor who implants these devices, you may be able to help improve how they are selected.
