Medtronic released its FY2020 Q2 results which show a 3.1% decrease in CRM/HF:
“Cardiac Rhythm & Heart Failure second quarter revenue of $1.426 billion decreased 3.1 percent as reported or 1.9 percent on a constant currency basis. Arrhythmia Management grew in the low-single digits, driven by mid-single digit growth in Pacemakers on continued strength of the Micra™ transcatheter pacing system, as well as low-double digit growth in AF Solutions, all on a constant currency basis. Arrhythmia Management growth was offset by low-double digit declines in Heart Failure, including high-thirties declines in sales of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), both on a constant currency basis.”
The press release also reported a decline in spinal cord stimulation sales:
“Pain Therapies second quarter revenue of $315 million increased 0.3 percent as reported or 1.3 percent on a constant currency basis. Interventional Pain grew in the low-double digits on the strength of Kyphon™ balloon kyphoplasty and OsteoCool™ RF ablation system sales. This was offset by declines in Pain Stimulation, reflecting the slowdown of the spinal cord stimulation market.”
