LivaNova to Present on Autonomic Regulation Therapy for Heart Failure

LivaNova PLC (NASDAQ:LIVN), a market-leading medical technology and innovation company, today announced it will present two abstracts further establishing the viability of implantable neuromodulation technology to treat patients with heart failure during the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2019 from August 31 to September 4 in Paris.
Autonomic Regulation Therapy (ART) is a novel approach to treating heart failure, and the LivaNova VITARIA® System delivers ART using Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) in patients who experience symptoms of heart failure despite receiving guideline-directed medical therapy. VITARIA is currently being used to study the effects of ART in a prospective, international, randomized, controlled clinical trial (ANTHEM-HFrEF Pivotal Study).
“At LivaNova, we’re advancing therapies that have meaningful impact, and the ANTHEM-HFrEF study is evaluating how our VITARIA System could improve care for patients with chronic heart failure,” said Edward Andrle, LivaNova General Manager of Neuromodulation. “We are encouraged by the results from our pilot study and the potential impact of this therapeutic innovation.”
The VITARIA System received CE Mark approval in 2015 and has been granted Expedited Access Pathway as a breakthrough technology by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If approved by FDA, it could be the first in its class for treating chronic heart failure.
