About

The objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the clinical benefits of left ventricle (LV) only pacing combined with automatic adjustment of AV timing (SyncAV) in patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) after 6 months of therapy.

This clinical investigation is a prospective, two-arm, randomized 1:1, multicenter feasibility study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of LV only with multipoint pacing (MPP) and SyncAV compared to bi-ventricular pacing with MPP and SyncAV. The clinical investigation will be conducted at approximately 7 centers in Europe and Canada. Approximately 120 subjects will be enrolled in the study. No site may enroll more than 33% of the total subjects.

Data will be collected at enrollment, CRT implant procedure, hospital pre-discharge, one and 6 months post implant. Enrollment data collection will include demographics, cardiovascular history, medication, echocardiography measurements and quality of life questionnaire. CRT implant procedure data collection will include implanted system information and lead location. The electrical conduction recording procedure will include surface ECG and device IEGM recordings during various pacing configurations at implant or up to 45 days post implant. In patients who consent to invasive measurements (expected target of at least 80 patients), a hemodynamic recording procedure will include invasive hemodynamic measurements during various pacing configurations which may take place during device implant or up to 45 days post implant. Hospital pre-discharge data collection will take place within 3 days after the CRT implant, electrical conduction recordings visit or hemodynamic recordings visit and will include system information, surface ECG, and device IEGMs.

In a subset of patients from selected centers that have access to this technology (expected 20 patients), non-invasive electrical activation data will be collected with body surface mapping within 45 days of the implant procedure.

Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either biventricular pacing with multipoint pacing (MPP) or LV-only pacing with MPP at the one-month (± 15 days) visit. The 6-month (± 15 days) post randomization follow up visit will include surface ECG, IEGMs, echocardiographic parameters and quality of life questionnaire.

Subjects participating in this clinical investigation will follow the hospital center standard of care from implant to 6 month follow up. The expected duration of enrollment is 1.5 year. The total duration of the clinical investigation is expected to be 2 years.

Inclusion criteria

• Patients with approved indication for CRT scheduled to be implanted with an MPP-enabled ABT Quadripolar CRT pacing system, de novo or upgrade from non-CRT system

• Sinus (or atrial paced) rhythm with intact AV conduction with PR interval ≤ 250 ms

Exclusion criteria

101 participants in 2 patient groups

BiV+MPP

Active Comparator group

Description:

Patients randomized to the "BiV pacing with MPP and SyncAV" study arm will have CRT programming to biventricular pacing with MPP activated. RV-LV pacing delay set to 5 ms, LV1 \& LV2 pacing cathodes selected as the maximal spaced electrodes (D1+P4, D2+M3, M2+P4) with pacing delay set to 5 ms and SyncAV offset programmed providing the optimum electrical resynchronization (shortest QRS duration).

Device: BiV pacing with MPP and SyncAV

LV-only + MPP

Experimental group

Description:

Patients randomized to the " LV only pacing with MPP and SyncAV" study arm will have CRT programming to left ventricular only pacing with MPP activated. LV1 \& LV2 pacing cathodes selected as the maximal spaced electrodes (D1+P4, D2+M3, M2+P4) with pacing delay set to 5 ms and SyncAV offset programmed providing the optimum electrical resynchronization (shortest QRS duration)
