LivaNova to Present Autonomic Regulation Therapy Findings for Chronic Heart Failure Patients at the American College of Cardiology 68th Annual Scientific Session
The LivaNova VITARIA® System delivers Autonomic Regulation Therapy (ART) using Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) to treat patients with chronic, symptomatic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). VITARIA is currently being used to study the effects of ART in a prospective, international, randomized, controlled clinical trial (ANTHEM-HFrEF Pivotal Study). Patients meeting all inclusion and exclusion criteria are randomized (2:1) to either the treatment arm or the control arm, and are followed thereafter to determine the safety and efficacy of the system and therapy.
“LivaNova is dedicated to changing lives through development and commercial introduction of innovative solutions, like the VITARIA System, which is the first system to deliver therapeutic levels of Autonomic Regulation Therapy through Vagus Nerve Stimulation,” said
The VITARIA System has received Expedited Access Pathway designation as a Breakthrough Technology from the
“The results from this landmark study have the potential to fundamentally alter the paradigm of treating chronic heart failure,” said Dr.
Three posters related to long-term follow-up and dosing of ART in the ANTHEM-HF Pilot Study will be presented during Scientific Sessions of ACC 2019 on
“Long-term Follow-up of Reduced Ejection Fraction Heart Failure Patients Receiving Autonomic Regulation Therapy in the ANTHEM-HF Pilot Study”
“Comparison of Background Pharmacologic Therapy in the ANTHEM-HF Pilot Study to Contemporary Trials of Novel Heart Failure Therapies”
“Quantitative Assessment of Transient Heart Rate Dynamics in Patients Exposed to Chronic Autonomic Regulation Therapy Provides Evidence of Durable Neuromodulation Resulting from Cyclic Stimulation of the Vagus Nerve”
