A 75-year old British woman was the first patient to receive such treatment    16    improving care for those who experience heart failure. The device, called V-LAP, is   17   ㆍ It is implanted in the heart's left atrium, which will give the earliest and the most accurate data of the heart's performance. The sensor does not have a battery and is charged   18   from outside the patient's body using a chest strap which also collects and transmits the data to doctors.
      The company behind this device hopes that by providing regular data rather than    19   on the current
assumptions based on physical findings, doctors will be able to help patients actively manage their conditions and reduce the need for them to be admitted to hospital.    20   , the surgery to implant the device is low-risk and takes less than an hour to perform. So far, nine heart failure patients across Europe have been fitted with the device.
