A: Radiologic image of the 2 octropolar electrodes with 1 targeted at the midline and the other targeted at left of the midline to cover the T1–T3 level. B: Flow diagram of patient recruitment. HF = heart failure; SCS = spinal cord stimulation; VF = ventricular fibrillation; VT = ventricular tachycardia.

Changes in the primary efficacy endpoints: New York Heart Association (NYHA), Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ), peak maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max), N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) after 6 months of spinal cord stimulation.

Changes in New York Heart Association class (A), peak maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) (B), N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (C), left ventricular ejection fraction (D), and left ventricular end-systolic volume (E) in spinal cord stimulation (SCS)–treated group and nontreated group at 6 months vs baseline. Data are given as mean ± SD.
