Medical Devices U.S. versus international comparable sales growth compares the comparable growth rate of Abbott's Medical Devices segment across its U.S. and international markets.

Heart Failure, Structural Heart, and Neuromodulation showed notably different U.S. and international growth patterns even though the total segment rates were close.
