Cardiac Contractility Modulation is a new therapy indicated for patients suffering from a decreased ejection fraction and advanced heart failure.

The device triggers various biochemical and neurohormonal changes to the myocardium for increasing its contractility to enable efficient operation of heart, without increasing concomitant in oxygen consumption.

“It will help us offer Cardiac Contractility Modulation therapy to many patients in China who are in need of heart failure symptom relief.”

Impulse Dynamics CEO Dr Simos Kedikoglou said: “This is a major milestone for Impulse Dynamics, as it will help us offer Cardiac Contractility Modulation therapy to many patients in China who are in need of heart failure symptom relief.

“It is also indicative of the efforts and investments the company has made in China, as we are one of the very few private companies that have reached such an achievement in-house, reflecting the dedication and commitment of the company’s employees globally.”
