NCT00489177

Brief Summary

This international study is assessing if repeat adjustment of the timing between the three leads in a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) defibrillator will increase the likelihood of benefit (symptoms and heart function) compared to usual device programming. The hypothesis is that QuickOpt facilitated serial optimization of sensed atrioventricular (sAV), paced atrioventricular (pAV), and inter-ventricular (VV) timing in the initial 9 months following successful CRT will increase the rate of clinical response and structural remodeling at 12 months compared to usual care.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical benefit (reduction in SAS of at least 1 class or a 25% or larger improvement in 6 minute hall walk distance) plus structural remodeling (15% or greater reduction in left LV end systolic volume or ≥ 5% absolute improvement in echo-derived LV EF)

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Rate of late (12-month) versus early (3 month) response to CRT

    3 and 12 months

  • Changes in BNP

    3 and 12 months

  • Inter-/intra-ventricular dysynchrony

    3 and 12 months

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • CRT-D indications and be implanted with an SJM CRT-D device with VV timing and a compatible lead system.
  • Able to complete a 6-minute hall walk with the only limiting factor to be fatigue or shortness of breath.
  • Geographically stable and willing to comply with follow-up.
  • Adequate echocardiographic images to measure LV end systolic volume.

You may not qualify if:

  • Epicardial ventricular lead system.
  • Ability to walk ≥ 450 meters in 6 minutes
  • Limited intrinsic atrial activity (≤ 40 bpm).
  • Persistent or permanent AF.
  • ° or 3° heart block.
  • Life expectancy is less than 1 year.
  • Patient is pregnant.
  • Receiving IV inotropic agents.
