(Nasdaq: OBIO, “Orchestra BioMed” or the “Company”), a biomedical company accelerating high-impact technologies to patients through risk-reward sharing partnerships, today announced the presentation of new clinical data from a pressure-volume (“PV”) loop study of atrioventricular interval modulation (“AVIM”) therapy (also known as BackBeat CNT™) in pacemaker-indicated patients with uncontrolled hypertension despite the use of antihypertensive medication. These data demonstrate the favorable impact of AVIM therapy compared to standard right ventricular (RV) pacing on systolic blood pressure and overall cardiac function when delivered using both conduction system andstandard pacing lead locations. The PV loop study was conducted at Na Homolce Hospital in Prague by Prof. Petr Neužil, M.D. and the data were featured in an oral presentation at the Technology and Heart Failure Therapeutics (“THT”) 2024 Meeting by Prof. Karl-Heinz Kuck, M.D., Medical Director at LANS Cardio Hamburg. AVIM therapy is an investigational patented bioelectronic therapy, administered using a standard dual-chamber pacemaker, designed to immediately, substantially and persistently reduce blood pressure. “These results showcase the innovative mechanism of action of AVIM therapy, which acts through well-characterized physiologic mechanisms to substantially reduce blood pressure and favorably impact circulatory hemodynamics,” commented Professor Kuck. “Well-conducted invasive PV loop studies are a robust way to evaluate the impact of a novel therapy like AVIM on hemodymanics and overall cardia...
