Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
CRT Response
Comparing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response rates between AV Delay programming schemes defined by SmartDelay or a Fixed AV Delay of 120ms. A negative change in LVESV is considered an improvement; CRT response is defined by a change in Left Ventricular End Systolic Volume (LVESV) \< -15% at 6 months compared to pre-implant baseline.
Pre-Implant baseline to 6 months
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Change in Left Ventricular End Systolic Volume (Absolute Change)
Implant to 6 Months
Change in Left Ventricular End Systolic Volume (Relative Change)

Interventions
Commercially approved quadripolar Boston Scientific Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D) devices and future generations of BSC X4 CRT-D devices approved by the appropriate regulatory bodies will be included in the trial. All devices utilized in the study will include SmartDelay™ and must be capable of providing SmartDelay recommendations for both biventricular pacing (BiV) and Left Ventricular (LV) only pacing. All enrolled subjects with implanted BSC X4 CRT-D system and identified with an RV-LV delay of ≥70ms were 1:1 randomized. Randomization occurred in the electronic data capturing system.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- 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
You may not qualify if:
- 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
