This technology is a highly adjustable biventricular pacemaker that can be used perioperatively or postoperatively and can be customized based on individual response.
Biventricular pacing (BiVP) can improve cardiac function in patients after open-heart surgery in heart failure. Cardiac resynchronization therapy greatly reduces mortality, shortens hospital stays, and improves recovery and quality of life post-surgery. There has been limited formal optimization performed to maximize BiVP efficiency and efficacy across a variety of settings, including temporary pacing after cardiac surgery.
This biventricular pacemaker enables optimization of multiple heart parameters to increase cardiac output during and after heart surgery. Adjustments can be made to the atrioventricular heart rate, right-left delay, and site location to readily adapt to patient response. Data are recorded in real time and entered into an algorithm that rapidly configures the optimal settings on a patient-specific basis. With a simple interface, this technology can be easily implemented in the operating room or intensive care unit.
This technology has shown to improve cardiac function in clinical trials in patients following cardiac surgery.
