About

The primary objective is to evaluate the benefit of the SmartDelay™ algorithm in patients with a prolonged RV-LV interval.

Full description

The primary hypothesis of SMART CRT is that among cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) patients with prolonged inrerventricular delay between the RV and LV leads, CRT with atrioventricular optimization (AVO) will result in greater reverse LV remodeling compared with CRT programmed at nominal settings (120 ms).

Inclusion criteria

Subject must be indicated to receive a de novo quadripolar Boston Scientific Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D) in conjunction with an ACUITY X4 LV lead. This includes subjects who are indicated to receive an upgrade to a BSC X4 CRT-D from a previously implanted device.
In order to achieve a homogenous population for the study, qualifying subjects are those with heart failure who meet BSC US indications for use defined as those subjects who receive stable optimal pharmacologic therapy (OPT) for heart failure and who meet any one of the following classifications:
- Moderate to severe heart failure (NYHA Class III-IV) with EF ≤ 35% and QRS duration ≥ 120 ms
- Left bundle branch block (LBBB) with QRS duration ≥ 130 ms, EF ≤ 30%, and mild (NYHA Class II) ischemic or nonischemic heart failure or asymptomatic (NYHA Class I) ischemic heart failure
Subject is age 18 or above, or of legal age to give informed consent specific to each country and national laws
Subject is willing and capable of providing informed consent
Subject is willing and capable of complying with visits and procedures as defined by this protocol

Exclusion criteria

Subjects with documented permanent complete AV block
Subjects with permanent or chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) or in AF at the time of enrollment
Subjects who have previously received cardiac resynchronization therapy with pacing in the left ventricle
Subjects on the active heart transplant list or who has or is to receive ventricular assist device (VAD)
Life expectancy shorter than 12 months due to any medical condition (e.g., cancer, uremia, liver failure, etc...)
Subject with a known or suspected sensitivity to dexamethasone acetate (DXA)
Subject is enrolled in any other concurrent clinical study, with the exception of local mandatory governmental registries and observational studies/registries, without the written approval from Boston Scientific
Women of childbearing potential who are or plan to become pregnant during the course of the trial
Subjects currently requiring dialysis
