What's New in iCath

1.3

May 9, 2013

We’re thrilled to have released our latest app, iImplant! Similar to iCath, iImplant offers AUC and guidelines for ICD and CRT devices based on the recently released 2013 ICD & CRT AUC. We’ve updated iCath to include a link in the Appendix to download the app for free. This version also includes minor bug fixes and performance improvements.
