LivaNova to Present Updates on Autonomic Regulation Therapy at the 23rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the Heart Failure Society of America
Autonomic Regulation Therapy (ART) is a novel neuromodulation approach to treating heart failure (HF), and the implantable LivaNova VITARIA® System delivers ART using Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) to treat patients with chronic, symptomatic HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The VITARIA System is currently being used to study the effects of ART in a prospective, international, randomized, controlled clinical trial (ANTHEM-HFrEF Pivotal Study). Dr.
“Automatic Regulation Therapy may be a breakthrough treatment option for patients with advanced, chronic heart failure, and we have applied the findings from previous ART research to the ANTHEM-HFrEF Pivotal Study. This therapy holds promise and is based on a contemporary understanding of the underlying neuroscience,” said Dr. Anand. “The more we evaluate the effects of this treatment for heart failure patients, the more we can learn about the disease and the potential ability of ART to transform patient lives.”
The VITARIA System received CE Mark approval in 2015 and is being evaluated under the
“Heart failure continues to be a large unmet need, and
Additionally, two ART posters will be presented during the HFSA meeting. Posters are on display
