Tuesday, February 27, 2024

DENVER, Feb. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SeaStar Medical Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: ICU), a medical device company developing proprietary solutions to reduce the consequences of hyperinflammation on vital organs, announces publication of a manuscript discussing the role of chronic dysregulated systemic inflammation in heart failure and the potential application of the adult Selective Cytopheretic Device, part of the Quelimmune™ product family, in enabling previously ineligible patients with severe disease to receive a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or heart transplant in the peer-reviewed European Journal of Heart Failure February 2024, Pitt, B., Iyer, S.P.N. and Humes, H.D. (2024), Eur J Heart Fail. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejhf.3177.

Key Points: 
  • The manuscript, titled “New Opportunity for Targeting Systemic Inflammation in Patients with Heart Failure through Leukocyte Immunomodulation” cites increasing evidence of the role of chronic systemic inflammation in patients with heart failure and discusses the Adult SCD’s potential to improve hypertensive heart failure and mortality following hospitalization for acute or worsening heart failure.
  • Following treatment with the Adult SCD, this patient was effectively bridged to LVAD three days after discontinuing treatment and was subsequently discharged without further complications.
  • “Prior attempts targeting singular proinflammatory factors as well as systemic immunosuppression with glucocorticoids in patients with acute heart failure have yielded unclear results, raising the need to identify new strategies.
  • “While our manuscript discusses a positive outcome in one patient following treatment for six hours daily over six consecutive days, the results suggest that more study with Adult SCD is warranted for patients with heart failure and hyperinflammation.”
