Thank you to everyone who joined us at #AAHFN2026 this weekend and for a tremendous educational session on CCM® therapy! We were especially honored to be joined by Darlene, who courageously shared her journey, and the life-changing impact CCM has had on her health and quality of life. Thank you to our faculty James Thomas Heywood, MD, Amy Kleinhans, DNP, FHRS, Sonja Brune, MSN, APRN, CCNS, CHFN, AACC, FHFSA, HF-Cert and moderator Chris Bell, ACNP for leading a powerful discussion on addressing gaps in heart failure care, overcoming the limitations of GDMT, and applying CCM therapy evidence and guidelines to identify appropriate patients. We’re grateful to bring providers and patients together to further this important conversation.

Thank you to everyone who attended the educational session on CCM® therapy at #AAHFN2026! Together, we: - Analyzed current heart failure care gaps and the clinical limitations of the "GDMT hamster wheel." - Evaluated the latest clinical evidence and mechanism of action for Cardiac Contractility Modulation. - Applied practical perspectives on patient identification, guidelines, and access—covering iCardio guidelines and National Coverage Determination (NCD) updates. Our sincere thanks to our faculty for the great session!

You’re invited to an educational experience at #AAHFN2026. Join us for an informative CEU lunch program—Advancing Heart Failure Care: Integrating CCM® Therapy Beyond GDMT.
