Data from acute and chronic pressure-volume loop studies support the mechanism of action and show a favorable impact of AVIM therapy on blood pressure and cardiovascular hemodynamicsAVIM therapy drove statistically significant reductions in systolic blood pressure, intra-cardiac volumes, total peripheral resistance and stroke work, with no adverse impact on stroke volume or contractility.Orchestra BioMed and Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) have a strategic collaboration for the development of AVIM therapy for treatment of uncontrolled hypertension in patients indicated for a pacemaker; over 750,000 patients annually that receive pacemakers worldwide are also believed to have hypertension. AVIM therapy has FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension in patients with increased cardiovascular risk, a population the Company estimates to comprise over 7.7 million patients in the U.S. NEW HOPE, Pa., Aug. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Orchestra BioMed Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: OBIO, “Orchestra BioMed” or the “Company”), a biomedical company accelerating high-impact technologies to patients through risk-reward sharing partnerships, today announced the publication of data in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Clinical Electrophysiology (“JACC: Clinical EP”) from a pressure-volume (“PV”) loop study demonstrating favorable hemodynamic effects of AVIM therapy in pacemaker-indicated patients with uncontrolled hypertension. AVIM therapy is currently being evaluated in the BACKBEAT global pivotal study, which Orchestra BioMed is conducting in collaboration with Medtronic, to support potential future global regulatory approvals and commercialization of AVIM therapy-enabled devices. The publication, titled “Pressure-Volume Analysis Demonstrates Short- and Long-Term Hemodynamic Effects of Atrioventricular Interval Modulation Therapy in Hypertension,” reports findings from an invasive PV loop analysis in 16 hypertensive pacemaker-indicated subjects, as well as noninvasive PV loop analysis from a subgroup of subjects (n=32) from the MODERATO II study receiving chronically administered AVIM therapy. The analyses demonstrated that AVIM therapy reduced systolic blood pressure (“SBP”) acutely by decreasing cardiac preload and effective arterial elastance unrelated to pacing lead location, while also improving left ventricular (“LV”) end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes. Chronically administered AVIM therapy demonstrated sustained reductions in SBP and end-diastolic volume, indicative of favorable reverse LV remodeling. Results also demonstrated consistently favorable hemodynamic effects using traditional right ventricular (“RV”) and conduction system pacing (“CSP”) lead placements. Daniel Burkhoff, M.D., Ph.D., Director, Heart Failure, Hemodynamics, and MCS Research, Cardiovascular Research Foundation and a manuscript author commented: “Pressure-volume loop analysis is regarded as the gold standard for assessing systolic and diastolic function as well as reverse remodeling. These results provide powerful insights on the impact of AVIM therapy to both decrease blood pressure and favorably impact ventricular end-diastolic volume without compromising cardiac output or increasing workload. Notably, these favorable effects were observed consistently and with different pacing lead locations, demonstrating the versatility of AVIM therapy. Publication of these data in a prestigious peer-reviewed journal such as JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology provides further validation from the clinical community reinforcing the therapeutic rationale behind AVIM therapy and further highlighting its potential to deliver differentiated clinical benefit for patients with uncontrolled hypertension.” Key findings include: Significantly reduced (p
