What if AF could be controlled without destroying the atrium?
MaxWell Biomedical is developing a new class of non-destructive electrical therapy designed to control AF, restore sinus rhythm, and preserve atrial function.
The Unmet Need
AF is an electrical disorder. Why must treating it require destroying tissue?
AF is increasingly understood not as a purely electrical disorder, but as a progressive disease of atrial structure and function. As the atrium remodels, coordinated atrial contraction is lost and with it, the "atrial kick" that contributes meaningfully to ventricular filling and cardiac output. Restoring sinus rhythm on an ECG is not the same as restoring hemodynamics.
Pharmacologic therapies manage rate or rhythm without addressing atrial mechanics. Ablative approaches reduce arrhythmia burden but are fundamentally rhythm control strategies for symptom relief; they do not restore atrial pump function and may come at the cost of atrial tissue integrity. The result: atrial dysfunction persists, cardiac output remains compromised, and the underlying disease progresses.
We don’t want to destroy the chaos. We want to organize it.
CRT-A™, powered by the Rhythm360™ system
A new class of cardiac resynchronization therapy applied to the atrium.
Drawing on the same principle that transformed outcomes in ventricular heart failure, CRT-A is designed to synchronize atrial activation, stabilize rhythm, and maintain atrial transport function through an imperceptible, non-destructive, physiology-guided approach.
Two large patient populations with no adequate device solution today stand to benefit most: patients who develop AF following open-heart surgery, and patients living with AF and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
