Can you say whether this is a study on some type of pace-maker device?

I'm inclined to say the word "field" here means תחום, i.e the area of Heart Failure (HF) which can be of different types, e.g: Ventricular Tachycardia, Ventricular Fibrillation.


I read about a completed study (Cognis and Teligen 100 HE and Reliance Quadripolar Defibrillation Lead (4-Site) Field Following (Cogent-4)), which fortifies my belief in this idea.

I don't think it has to do with field as "out in the open", particularly if this relates to severe heart failure, where patients often have a mobility problem due to their condition.
