Heart Devices Linked to Increased Risk of Death Due to Infection

According to the Doctor's Lounge, heart devices are linked to an increased risk of death as a result of infection. When you suffer from a debilitating heart condition that prevents you from working, then Social Security disability may be available.

While defibrillators, pacemakers and other types of implantable heart devices can help treat heart problems and potentially save a life, there are also life-threatening complications that can arise.

Research from the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minn., reveals that those patients who develop an infection after receiving an implantable heart device, have a higher risk of death. Additionally, they lead to higher medical costs due to hospital stays and the need for medication.

While the results of this study reveal an increased risk of death in those who develop infections as a result of an implantable heart device, researchers are not sure why. Further studies will be conducted in order to determine this.

When you are unable to work because of a disabling medical condition, then you may be eligible to receive disability benefits that can help to offset your lost income.
