Arrythmia Burden in Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM)

The Impulse Dynamics Optimizer is indicated for patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III congestive heart failure (CHF) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between 25 and 45% who are not candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy. The Optimizer device requires a minimally invasive implant by a cardiac electrophysiologist with two transvenous pacemaker wires implanted into the right ventricular septum and attached to a generator in an infraclavicular region, much like a pacemaker. The Optimizer device provides CCM through improved calcium handling and has been shown to reverse the negative remodeling of the left ventricle seen in HFrEF and improve left ventricular contractile strength.
