“The risk of sudden cardiac death during an episode of moderate to vigorous exertion in this large group of women was exceedingly low, even lower than we had found previously in a large group of men.”
“The warning letter is a clear negative for Guidant and adds to its near-term challenges in its [cardiac rhythm management] franchise.”
