The new OPTIMIZER™ IVs device was presented during the DGK Spring Conference in Mannheim. Among the specific features of the new device are its minimized size, the low weight and the ergonomic shape which allow for a fast and easy implantation. An optimized algorithm now permits treatment of patients with AV delays of up to 400 ms.

CCM therapy and further development of the OPTIMIZER system were the topic of this year’s CCM Symposium:
