Executive Summary
In the first results since its initial public offering last December, Guidant has reported strong sales growth of its cardiac rhythm management (CRM) products. These rose 18% in the fourth quarter compared with a year earlier. Guidant points out that operating expenses rose just 1% in the fourth quarter and CEO Ronald Dollens considers this reflects Guidant's initial success at cost control.
