Revolutionary Cardiac Pacemaker Improves Heart Function and Saves Lives

The video discusses a biventricular pacemaker that helps synchronize heart rhythms in patients with heart failure. It highlights the device's ability to reduce deaths and hospital readmissions. Despite its benefits, only a small number of patients in Britain have received the implant due to current NHS guidelines, which restrict its use to severe cases. The video suggests that these guidelines should be revised to allow more patients to benefit from the technology.
