AbbottTalks launches Season 3 with a fresh new video presence, a new co-host, and several new powerful conversations from Abbott’s senior leaders.
Host Tom Salemi and new co-host Kayleen Brown welcome Vish Charan, divisional vice president of product development for Abbott’s Cardiac Rhythm Management, to explore the engineering evolution of the pacemaker—and where it’s headed next.
Charan reflects on the remarkable transformation of pacemakers from large, wired implants to compact, leadless systems that dramatically improve patient outcomes. He details Abbott’s development of the AVEIR™ DR dual chamber leadless pacemaker system, the first of its kind to enable synchronized communication between the atrium and ventricle without leads, using Abbott’s proprietary i2i™ (implant-to-implant) technology.
The conversation dives deep into conduction system pacing, modular upgrades, and how Abbott is shaping the future of cardiac care for millions of patients. The episode closes with a powerful story of a former professional surfer whose life was transformed by Abbott’s innovation—an example of technology enabling patients to reclaim their lives.
