A new kind of heart implant being tested right here in Fort Worth could change how we protect people from sudden cardiac arrest. Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital is part of a global study tracking patients with extravascular ICDs—devices that monitor and shock the heart back to life if it stops. Unlike older versions, these new ICDs are implanted outside the heart and veins, which means less risk of infection. With over 350,000 cardiac arrests happening outside hospitals each year in the U.S., this could be a real game-changer. Would you consider an implant like this for yourself or a loved one? #Health #BodyHealth #FortWorth
