Help Your Patients Living with Heart Failure

When chronic heart failure (CHF) patients remain symptomatic despite guideline-directed medical therapy and do not qualify for traditional CRT therapy, they’re forced to live with worsening symptoms that diminish their quality of life. It doesn’t have to be this way. Impulse Dynamics has developed the breakthrough Optimizer® Smart system with Cardiac Contractility Modulation technology to ease the symptoms of CHF for these patients. CCM® therapy delivers precisely timed electrical pulses to the heart cells during the absolute refractory period. It is designed to strengthen and help the heart contract more forcibly, thereby delivering more blood and oxygen to the body.

Who is CCM® therapy for?
 

The OPTIMIZER® Smart System, which delivers CCM® therapy, is indicated to improve 6 minute hall walk, quality of life, and functional status of NYHA Class III heart failure patients who remain symptomatic despite being on guideline directed medical therapy. To be eligible you must meet the following criteria:
  • NYHA Stage III heart failure
  • EF 25% – 45%
  • Normal sinus rhythm
  • NOT indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy

Clinical Evidence

Evidence from clinical and bench investigations suggest that CCM® therapy improves the heart’s contractility, as it is designed to do, by modifying the function and expression of proteins in the heart muscle. Clinical trials have demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in the FIX-HF-5C randomized trial:

  • CCM® subjects improved 11.7 points in the MLWHFQ score compared to the control group.
  • CCM® subjects improved their NYHA heart failure status by >1 class 81% of the time compared to 42% in the control group.
  • CCM® subjects walked on average 33.7 meters further than the control group during the 6-minute hall walk test

The approach has proven to be safe and effective in numerous clinical studies, including several randomized controlled trials, and the results have been published in over 90 articles appearing in leading medical journals.4
