NCT04463121

Brief Summary

This investigation will evaluate the effect of RV pacing lead position on cardiac function and the modulation of the autonomic nervous system with Cardiac Neuromodulation Therapy (CNT) pacing signals. The study will be performed acutely prior to a pacemaker implant.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Effects of the Moderato CNT pacing signals on cardiac function

    Left ventricular pressure (mmHg) and Volume (ml) will be obtained by a multisensor catheter which provides real-time, beat-to-beat intra-ventricular measurement of cardiac function and performance. Data will be used to generate Pressure-Volume Loops, an aknowledged way to describe hemodynamic changes. CNT signals (alternating short and long atrioventicular sequences 40-150 ms) will be delivered at the same by right ventricular pacemaker leads temporarely connected to the Moderato device.

    approximately one hour

  • Effects of CNT pacing signals on blood pressure

    Blood pressure (mmHg) will be obtained in parallel with a Millar catheter from the femoral artery througout the study.

    aproximately onr hour

Study Arms (1)

Acute CNT pacing signals testing

EXPERIMENTAL

Acute study procedure will be carried out prior to a pacemaker implantation or replacement: pacemaker Right Atrial (RA) and Right Ventricular (RV) leads will be positioned according to standard procedure for pacemaker implant and connected to a Moderato® System IPG, via a single use, sterile Pacing System Analyzer (PSA) cable. The Moderato IPG will deliver CNT signals. Furthermore, a standard conductance catheter in the left ventricle will measure cardiac volumes and pressure. Arterial blood pressure will be obtained as well. A range of CNT signal parameters will be used to assess the effect on sympathetic activity at different positions of the RV pacing lead while ventricular pressure and volume and arteial pressure signals will be assesed for cardiac function, sympathetic activity and blood pressure. The effects of CNT signal over a range of parameter settings will be studied for the different RV lead positions.

Device: Moderato IPG's CNT pacing signalsDevice: CD Leycom Pressure/Volume Combination Catheters

Interventions

Assesment of cardiac function and sympatheric activity will be obtained simultaneously

Acute CNT pacing signals testing

Simultaneous recording of the Pressure, Volume measurements and ECG signals will be done for constant monitoring of intra-ventricular pressure and volume.
