Chronic heart failure is a condition with high mortality and morbidity. Cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) is a modern method for treating patients with CHF. There is evidence that CCM improves quality of life and exercise tolerance of patients. There is no sufficient data that MCC can improve a patients prognosis. We need more data to understand the place of MCC in treatment of patients with CHF.
