Date Published: 21-Jul-2010

Boston Scientific is reporting an almost 40 per cent fall in its second quarter earnings.

Net income fell to 98 million dollars against the 158 million dollars earned a year previous, the medical -devices maker reported.

The fall was driven mostly by the stoppage of sales of its implanted heart defibrillators, Boston said.
