PG - 1078-1084 LID - 10.26442/00403660.2022.09.201840 [doi] AB - AIM: To evaluate the efficacy, safety and effect on the prognosis of cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and atrial fibrillation compared with the group of only optimal drug therapy (ODT) of the 12-month follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients (n=200) were sequentially included in two groups: group 1 patients with CHF who are on ODT in combination with implanted CCM devices (n=100), group 2 comparison patients with CHF who receive only ODT (n=100). Initially and after 12 months, 12-channel electrocardiography (ECG), transthoracic echocardiography, daily ECG-monitoring, determination of the level of NT-proBNP, a six-minute walk test and an assessment of the quality of life according to the Minnesota Questionnaire were performed. RESULTS: In the CCM therapy group, a significant clinical improvement was revealed, which was expressed in the form of a decrease in functional class CHF by NYHA (New York Heart Association), an increase in the distance of a six-minute walk test and an improvement in the quality of life according to Minnesota Questionnaire, as well as an improvement in left ventricle contractile function compared to the ODT group. The absence of a proarrhythmogenic effect of the CCM was shown. There was a significant decrease in the frequency of the readmission due to CHF and the probability of achieving the combined endpoint in the CCM therapy group compared with only ODT. CONCLUSION: The use of CCM in patients with CHF and atrial fibrillation is an effective and safe method of therapy that leads to the development of reverse remodeling of the myocardium, improves the clinical status of patients and reduces the frequency of readmission due to decompensation of CHF.
