One innovative approach to managing heart failure is through Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM), a device-based therapy that aims to enhance the heart's contractility without causing excessive ...

A scientific statement regarding CPET interpretation in patients with congenital HD across their lifespan has been published by the AHA.

“It delivers cardiac contractility modulation as well as defibrillator therapy,” explained Dr. Varma. Cardiac contractility ...

This results in a decreased heart rate through decreased SA node activity and decreased AV nodal conduction, as well as decreased inotropy — contractility — of the heart. Beta-blockers are ...

Non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers act predominantly centrally to decrease heart rate (chronotropy) and contractility (inotropy). Calcium channel blockers are used to treat hypertension ...

The backlog of requests for Medicare national coverage analyses is a matter of record, but a new analysis highlights how deep that backlog runs. CMS declared it will review a petition from Impulse ...
