NCT00828360

Brief Summary

While cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has a well demonstrated therapeutic effect in selected patients with advanced heart failure (HF) on optimized drug therapy, non-responder rate remains high. The low-dose dobutamine stress-echo (DSE) test to predict positive response to CRT (LODO-CRT) trial is designed to improve patient selection for CRT.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of patients showing left ventricular reverse remodelling. In particular, a 10% or greater reduction of the left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) is the primary endpoint of the LODO-CRT study.

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical composite score, which combines changes in the NYHA class and global assessment with the information provided from the occurrence of major clinical events.

    12 months
