MARLTON, N.J., Nov 2 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Impulse Dynamics, a global medical device company dedicated to improving the lives of people with heart failure, today announced the first implantation of a patient in China with its innovative Optimizer system delivering CCM therapy. Cardiologist Dr. Hua Wei from the renowned Fuwai Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences performed the successful implant procedure.
Dr. Wei shared, “We are currently relying on medication only for the treatment of heart failure. If medication doesn’t work, then we don’t have a better solution. We now have a new option — CCM therapy — for these patients with a narrow QRS heart failure. For the vast majority of patients with heart failure, I think the implant performed today has a significant meaning for the future.”
