NCT01594112

Brief Summary

The purpose of the THORN registry is to show the ability of Home-Monitoring® to early identify and manage the inappropriate diagnoses of ventricular arrhythmia in ICD patients (i.e. lead rupture, atrial arrhythmia, oversensing…) whatever the type of device (single, dual, or triple chamber). The electromyograms (iEGMs) provided by Remote Patient Monitoring will help the physician to early detect inadequate arrhythmia detection (ID) that can be responsible for inappropriate therapies (IT), and to take preventive actions in order to reduce the burden of these inappropriate therapies. THORN is an observational epidemiologic, prospective and multicenter registry. The primary objective is to measure the relative proportion of patients experiencing at least one inappropriate therapy during a fifteen months follow-up period. Moreover, THORN will assess the incidence, predictors, outcome and recurrence of inappropriate diagnoses in 1750 ICD patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Relative proportion of patients experiencing at least one inappropriate therapy (retrospective part) or more than one inappropriate therapy (prospective part)

    Study of the relationship between the detection of ID, the corrective action taken and the recurrence of ID of the same mechanism.

    15 months

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Number of diagnoses per patient per year and relative proportion of patients with at least one diagnosis

    15 months

  • Relative proportion of patients with a second day of ID

    15 months

  • Number of Asymptomatic Inappropriate therapy and Inappropriate therapy without diagnosis

    15 months

  • Time to the first ID

    15 months

  • Medical reaction time to the ID

    15 months

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Patient with at least one ID

Patient with ICD who received at least one inappropriate diagnosis (with or without therapy) during the 15 months follow-up.

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Population implanted of ICD with Biotronik Home Monitoring® system. 512 patients will be selected by investigators in 50 centers in France.

You may qualify if:

  • Subject implanted with a single, dual, or triple chambers ICD within the last 3 months
  • Home Monitoring® activated and functional since hospital discharge
  • Patient willing and able to comply with the protocol and who has provided written informed consent about Home Monitoring®,
  • Patient whose medical situation is stable

You may not qualify if:

  • ICD replacements
  • New York Heart Association Function Class IV patients
  • Pregnant women or women who plan to become pregnant during the trial
  • Presence of any disease, other than patient's cardiac disease, associated with reduced likelihood of survival for the duration of the trial, e.g. cancer, uraemia (urea \> 70mg/dl or creatinine \>3mg/dl), liver failure, etc.
  • Age \< 18 years
  • Patient unable to handle the Biotronik's transmitter correctly
  • Change of residence expected during the study
  • Insufficient global system for mobile communication (GSM) coverage at patient's home
  • Participation in another clinical study
