This video features a candid discussion between Dr. William Abraham and Prof. Andrew Coats following the recent publication of the 2021 ESC Guidelines for Heart Failure. The physicians discuss cardiac contractility modulation therapy and deliberate over appropriate timing for interventional device-based therapies for patients who remain symptomatic despite GDMT. Both doctors also share their viewpoints on patients’ quality versus quantity of life and how that balance affects their decisions and overall treatment strategies. The video also features a presentation on cardiac contractility modulation in drug-resistant heart failure given by Prof. Coats at the 2021 ESC Heart Failure Congress.
