The Optimizer IVs is a minimally invasive implantable device designed to treat Chronic Heart Failure (CHF), a growing public health problem in Saudi Arabia. “We are happy to have the Optimizer system which gives a new therapeutic option and hope to our heart failure patients in Saudi Arabia” commented Dr. Al Ghamdi. The Optimizer system is based on the novel Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) technology, and delivers non-excitatory electric pulses to the heart. “This therapy will address those patients with symptomatic heart failure and narrow QRS complex despite pharmacological therapy for whom there is no other device based option” Dr. Al Ghamdi continued.

“These implants are a significant milestone in our continued commercial expansion” said Dr. Simos Kedikoglou, CEO of Impulse Dynamics. “CCM is a well-established technology that meets a major need globally, and we plan to further expand its introduction in Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries to benefit more patients with heart failure.“
