The trial is intended to assess the safety and efficacy of the Optimiser Integra CCM-D System, which combines two cardiac therapies: cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) and an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).

The system improves the quality of life and reduces symptoms of heart failure by improving heart contraction through CCM therapy. It also delivers ICD therapy for the treatment of life-threatening arrhythmias that may lead to sudden cardiac death.

INTEGRA-D clinical trial national primary investigator and Cleveland Clinic electrophysiologist Dr Niraj Varma said: “The trial aims to study whether this device can protect heart failure patients from the risk of sudden cardiac death while also treating heart failure symptoms.”

The study’s objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the CCM-D device in treating ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation episodes, along with providing CCM treatment for heart failure.
