Highlights
- Synchronized diaphragmatic stimulation (SDS) is a new extra-cardiac HFrEF therapy
- SDS impacts intrathoracic pressure and pericardial restraint•
- SDS exhibits a favorable safety profile over 1 year of chronic use
- Exercise tolerance and QOL improved with SDS over 1 year
- Early results will soon be validated in a randomized control trial
Abstract
Background
Synchronized diaphragmatic stimulation (SDS) produces localized contractions of the diaphragm gated to the cardiac cycle to transiently modulate intrathoracic pressures, thereby impacting cardiac function for heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This study prospectively evaluated the safety and 1-year effectiveness of SDS in an expanded …
