Despite maximum efforts, many heart failure patients remain symptomatic and are limited with everyday life activities which negatively impacts their quality of life. The session will discuss the challenges that continue to exist in the treatment of heart failure and the unmet needs the provider community must face when HFS and EP together manage HF patients and guideline directed medical therapy is not enough.

The session will include real world case study experiences with CCM® Therapy and will share best practice approaches to identify appropriate patients. The Integra D Trial design and inclusion criteria will also be reviewed. This investigational device is currently in clinical trials and has both CCM and defibrillator capabilities in a single device.
