NCT04739553

Brief Summary

This study will examine the clinical feasibility of His pacing in patients with expected high demand for ventricular pacing and no established indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy. Secondarily, examine differences in electrical and mechanical cardiac activation between traditional pacing and His pacing.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Rate of chronic His pacing success

    Chronic His capture with clinically acceptable pacing threshold (\<=3.5V)

    Evaluated at 1 year follow up

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Rate of perioperative His pacing success

    The implant procedure duration i.e. incision to skin closure

  • QRS duration (ms)

    Implantation to 1 year follow up

  • Changes in left ventricular echocardiographic two-dimensional strain dyssynchrony parameters

    Implant to 1 year follow up

  • Changes in regional right and left ventricular electrical activation delay

    Implant to 1 year follow up

Study Arms (1)

His Pacing

EXPERIMENTAL

Implant of a supplementary His pacing lead in addition to a traditional RV pacing lead.

Device: His Pacing

Interventions

The patients will receive a pacemaker implant with a traditional right ventricular pacing lead and an additional His pacing lead in a basal high septal position at the level of the proximal electrical conduction system (His). An atrial lead is implanted if dual chamber pacing is needed. All leads are connected to a biventricular pacemaker with the His lead in the LV port.

His Pacing

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Permanent pacemaker indication with expected high demand of right ventricular pacing (\>40%) and left ventricular ejection fraction \>40%.

You may not qualify if:

  • No class I indication for CRT pacemaker (HRS 2018 Pacing Guidelines)
  • Hemodynamically unstable patients
  • Severely reduced kidney function
  • Former serious adverse reactions to contrast media
  • Pregnant or lactating
  • Severe psychiatric disorder which can compromise compliance with protocol
