The Optimizer system is the only device approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States to deliver CCM therapy. Dr. Steven Gubin, a cardiologist and the President of Stern Cardiovascular, is part of the care team that completed the procedure at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis, offering CCM therapy to a patient living with the debilitating effects of HF. This milestone highlights the momentum building globally for CCM therapy, using the Optimizer platform to improve quality of life in HF patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am excited to have a new therapy option for heart failure patients,\u201d said Dr. Gubin, who has been practicing for 30 years. \u201cOne of my heart failure patients, Aubretta Bean, who is a cancer survivor, continued to have symptoms despite her compliance with guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure. She let me know that she felt better almost immediately after receiving the implant and continues to improve daily. It has been extremely rewarding to see such improvement in her quality of life. Her lab work four weeks later showed her BNP (a common test to diagnose heart failure) decreased by 81%, which is consistent with improvement in her heart failure symptoms.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mrem.bernama.com\/viewsm.php?idm=46096\">http:\/\/mrem.bernama.com\/viewsm.php?idm=46096<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MARLTON, N.J., May 16 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Impulse Dynamics plc, a global medical device company dedicated to improving the lives of people with heart failure (HF), announced today a worldwide milestone achievement with the 9,000th patient receiving the Optimizer\u00ae system for the treatment of moderate HF.
