UNC Medical Center today announced it is among the first hospitals in the United States and the first hospital in the Carolinas to use CCM® therapy, delivered by the Optimizer® system, to treat patients suffering from heart failure. Heart failure is a progressive condition with debilitating symptoms that can severely limit the quality of life for heart failure patients.
CCM therapy, also known as cardiac contractility modulation is a new, FDA-approved heart failure treatment proven to improve quality of life for patients that are no longer adequately responding to medications to manage symptoms or slow the progression of heart failure.
