NCT00811551

Brief Summary

zWedge is a clinical feasibility IDE study. The objective is to characterize the relationship between intra-thoracic impedance measurements obtained from a CRT-D device and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) measured via a right heart catheterization (RHC) acutely and over time.

Study Population

Subjects previously implanted with a St. Jude Medical PROMOTE device (Model 3207 or other with similar capability) according to ACC/AHA/HRS guidelines.

You may qualify if:

  • Have a SJM PROMOTE CRT-D (Model 3207 or other model with similar functioning) system that was implanted at least 4 months prior to enrollment for an approved indication per ACC/AHA/HRS guidelines.
  • Have the ability to provide written informed consent for study participation and be willing and able to comply with the prescribed follow-up tests and schedule of evaluation.
  • Have legally marketed bipolar right atrial and true bipolar right ventricular pacing defibrillation leads, and a legally marketed endocardial bipolar LV lead.

You may not qualify if:

  • Be less than 18 years of age.
  • Have any medical condition that would interfere with intra-thoracic measurements such as end-stage pulmonary disease, advanced interstitial pulmonary disease, or frequent episodes of pneumonia.
  • Have a contraindication for right heart catheterization.
  • Have a contraindication for the delivery of IV Nitroglycerin.
  • Be pregnant or planning a pregnancy for the duration of their study participation.
  • Be currently participating in a clinical investigation that includes an active treatment arm.
  • Have a life expectancy of less than 12 months due to any condition.
  • Be unable to perform the Valsalva maneuver with airway pressure \> 40 mm Hg for ≥10 seconds.
  • Are pacemaker dependent, where cessation of pacemaker function consistently results in syncope or ventricular asystole.
