CI occurs in over 70 % of advanced systolic CHF
patients irrespective of beta-blocker use1
CI is an independent predictor of mortality.2

CLS is the only rate-adapting algorithm reacting both
on physical and mental stress.
CI is associated with CRT non-response
CLS is not influenced by the patients’ drug therapy.7
CI is a predictor for non-response to CRT in patients in sinus rhythm.5
