The human heart beat is powered by chemical impulses produced by special cells called pacemaker cells. These cells are often affected by external stimuli– medication, stress, and physical activity, just a few things that change body chemistry; altering chemical impulses, increasing or decrease heartbeat. One of the most well-known and often misunderstood external heart stimuli is defibrillation.

In case you are asking what an AED is, it is an automated defibrillator and there is a chance that having one on hand may save your life or the life of someone else. Though every business and home needs to be be equipped with one of these devices, very few are. Even if you have never touched a defibrillator, or even seen one before, having this device handy in the event of an emergency cardiac situation can greatly improve the chance of survival for the victim. Clearly if you know that you have people at your business or in your home with cardiac issues, you definitely need one of these around. It is important to note, however, that several of the hundreds of thousands of people who die from cardiac issues every year were never diagnosed with a preexisting condition.

Medtronic Overview

Filing a Medtronic lawsuit requires in-depth knowledge of the issues surrounding Medtronic and their defibrillators. By the time of the recall in 2006, thousands of people had been implanted with the devices. Designed to regulate a person's irregular heart beat, the Medtronic defibrillators would release a small electric shock when needed to jolt the heart back into a regular rhythm. The defibrillator would be surgically placed inside of a patient's chest, with the Sprint Fidelis Wire Leads being placed inside of a vein. While the device showed a great deal of initial potential to solve the problem of faulty heart rhythms, it was not long before defects began to be felt by patients with the implanted devices.
