Study Summary

This trialplans to see if epidural stimulation can help Heart Failure patients exercise w/ better heart control.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for heart failure patients who are not pacemaker dependent, have a BMI ≤35, an Ejection Fraction <40%, and can exercise. They should be current nonsmokers with a limited smoking history, stable in their condition for over 3 months, and classified as NYHA Class I-III. Those with severe cardiopulmonary issues, recent stents or surgeries on the spine, pregnant women, opioid users or blood thinner users cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if the Precision Spinal Cord Stimulator System can help control cardiovascular function during exercise in heart failure patients. It aims to see whether this spinal stimulation could benefit those with reduced ejection fraction due to ischemic or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, spinal cord stimulators may generally cause discomfort at the implant site, unwanted changes in stimulation related to movements or posture adjustments and potential nerve damage.
