5. Study Description

Brief Summary
A feasibility study to investigate the safety and performance of the NeuroTronik Cardiac Autonomic Nerve Stimulation (CANS) Therapy System
Detailed Description
A single-arm, safety study intended to assess safety and system performance, and the feasibility to improve hemodynamics in patients with acute heart failure syndrome using transvenous, cardiac autonomic nerve stimulation (CANS) therapy. In addition, the effects of NeuroTronik CANS Therapy™ on the congestion of patients will be studied. The study proposes that the NeuroTronik CANS Therapy™ System be deployed during the acute heart failure syndrome hospital admission, along with existing standard treatment.
