Abstract

Heart failure is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite advancements in guideline-directed medical therapy and improvements in device-based therapies, patients with advanced heart failure have high rates of mortality regardless of ejection fraction. For patients with reduced ejection fraction who meet criteria, cardiac resynchronization therapy or implantable cardiac defibrillators are options available to improve outcomes. However, not all heart failure patients meet those criteria. Cardiac contractility modulation is an innovative therapy that serves to improve functional outcomes and quality of life, while also modifying pathologic gene expression and preventing further remodeling. In this article, we aim to discuss the major clinical trials investigating cardiac contractility modulation as a suitable therapy for patients with advanced heart failure.
