Why the study?
Non-invasive methods to assess the acute hemodynamic effects of cardiac contractility modulation are critical to optimize care and guide treatment in heart failure patients ineligible for CRT.
Does cardiac contractility modulation improve stroke volume and total peripheral resistance index in heart failure patients?

NICaS may enable non-invasive SV monitoring during CCM; leaves open need for larger randomized validation before practice change.
Does cardiac contractility modulation improve stroke volume and total peripheral resistance index in heart failure patients?
Cardiac contractility modulation significantly improved stroke volume and reduced total peripheral resistance index in heart failure patients at 3 months, as measured non-invasively by bioimpedance.
