3 Current Evidence-Based Treatment of Chronic Systolic Heart Failure Control VolumeReduce Mortality Diuretics Digoxin  -Blocker ACEI or ARB Aldosterone Antagonist or ARB Treat Residual Symptoms CRT  an ICD* Hyd/ISDN* *For all indicated patients. Abraham WT, 2005.

4 Current Evidence-Based Treatment of Chronic Diastolic Heart Failure

5 Recommended Therapies for Routine Use: Treating known risk factors (e.g., hypertension) with therapy consistent with contemporary guidelines Ventricular rate control for all patients with AF Drugs for all patients Diuretics Drugs for appropriate patients ACEI ARBs Beta-Blockers Digitalis Coronary revascularization in selected patients Restoration/maintenance of sinus rhythm in appropriate patients Guideline Recommendations* for the Management of Diastolic Heart Failure *From ACC/AHA and HFSA heart failure guidelines; All of these recommendations based on consensus

6 Despite Current Therapies, Heart Failure Morbidity and Mortality Remain High 30% to 40% of patients are in NYHA class III or IV Re-hospitalization rates 2% at 2 days 25% at 1 month 50% at 6 months 5-year mortality ranges from 15% to more than 50% Asymptomatic LVD  15% Mild-moderate HF  35% Advanced HF >50%

9 Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM)

10 Optimizer II System

11 Early Studies of CCM Preclinical and early clinical studies showed that CCM: Increases cardiac contractility Reduces myocardial work Produces LV reverse remodeling Induces molecular changes (in genes, proteins and phosphorylation) indicative of improved calcium handling and contractile function These observations led to pivotal trials in Europe (FIX-HF-4) and the U.S. (Fix-HF-5)

12 Results of the FIX-HF-4 and FIX-HF-5 Studies In NYHA class III-IV heart failure patients, CCM improves Exercise capacity Quality of Life (MLWHFQ score) NYHA A subgroup of patients (EF ≥ 25, NYHA III) appears to benefit most from CCM* A prospective randomized controlled trial to confirm these observations (FIX-HF-5b) is ongoing in the U.S. *Abraham WT, et al. J Cardiac Failure 2011

13 Baroreflex Activation Therapy (BAT) Kidneys ↓ HR↑ Vasodilation ↓ Stiffness ↑ Diuresis ↓ Renin secretion Carotid Baroreceptor Stimulation Reduced blood pressure Reduced afterload, wave reflections and augmentation Reduced myocardial work and oxygen consumption Reduced neurohormonal stimulus Increased venous capacitance Heart Vessels Brain Autonomic Nervous System Inhibited Sympathetic Activity Enhanced Parasympathetic Activity Baroreflex Activation Lead Implantable Pulse Generator

16 HOPE-4-HF Study Overview ≤ 100 patients at 15 sites FDA review on 30 Rheos patients followed for 3 mo 540 patients at 70 U.S. sites and 20 OUS sites Primary endpoint: CV death / HF event Follow-up until 270 primary endpoint events reached Enrollment uninterrupted Data counts toward endpoint First PhaseSecond Phase Rheos + Medical Management Implant/ Activate Medical Management Only Randomize 2:1

17 Spinal Cord Stimulation for Heart Failure SCS is approved for the treatment of chronic pain syndromes and has been used to treat intractable angina pectoris Current evidence suggests that thoracic SCS decreases sympathetic tone In a canine model, SCS caused vagal-like responses by slowing sinus rate and prolonging AV nodal conduction time and ventricular refractory period These effects may be beneficial in chronic heart failure

31 New Approach to the Non-Invasive Assessment of Lung Water Proprietary RF monitoring and imaging technology As fluid replaces air, there is an increase in the dielectric coefficient Measurement is localized (lung-specific) as opposed to other modalities (e.g., bio- impedance) Enables non-invasive and continuous monitoring of lung fluid concentration

36 Cardiac Support Devices Primary goal is to reduces LV radius and transmural pressure, so that diastolic wall stress will fall Other properties (e.g., elasticity) of such devices may provide ancillary mechanisms of benefit First generation devices (e.g. CorCap™) required a major surgical procedure (i.e., sternotomy) Newer devices (e.g., HeartNet™) can be placed via a minimally invasive approach and has unique elastic properties
