New heart device aims to cut hospital stays and deaths in heart failure patients
NCT ID NCT07209098
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special heart device called cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) can help people with heart failure live longer and avoid hospital stays. About 4,200 people with advanced heart failure will either get the device or standard care. The goal is to see if the device improves survival and reduces heart-related hospital visits.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Participants are patients with heart failure who are identified from a large, de-identified, multi-system electronic health record (EHR) database representing diverse healthcare settings across the United States. The database includes patients receiving care in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and other sites where cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) therapy is delivered. The population reflects typical sites of CCM implantation in Medicare-eligible adults across multiple states and integrated delivery networks (IDNs).
