NCT05345925

Brief Summary

In a multicenter non-randomized acute setting, eligible subjects requiring implant or replacement of an IPG (pacemaker, ICD, CRT-P, CRT-D) will be instrumented to study the effect of CNT from different locations in the RV. CNT effects on BP will be evaluated with a PV conductance catheter in the LV, and with optional BP catheters in the aorta and/or RV. CNT will be delivered by externally by the BackBeat Moderato System IPG.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Average changes in Systolic Blood Pressure Change

    When compared to standard pacing, CNT elicits a reduction in Systolic Blood Pressure (mmHg)

    through study completion (18 months)

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Average Cardiac Volumes (End Diastolic and End Systolic volumes, stroke volumes)

    through study completion (18 months)

  • Average Ejection Fraction (the percent of blood volume ejected per beat)

    through study completion (18 months)

  • Average Cardiac Pressures (End Systolic and Diastolic Pressures)

    through study completion (18 months)

  • Average cardiac contractility

    through study completion (18 months)

  • Average Systemic Vascular Resistance

    through study completion (18 months)

Study Arms (1)

Experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

Eligible subjects instrumented for CNT testing

Device: Moderato

Interventions

ModeratoDEVICE

Several algorithms comprising CNT will be delivered by the Moderato Implantable Pulse Generator. Each application will last approximately 3 min with 2 minutes baseline (regular pacing) between them. Hence, each subject will serve as its own control (during pacing) and test (during CNT application). Furthermore, the average control value for the whole group will be compared with the average test values of CNT algorithms at the different ventricular lead locations for efficacy assessments. Stratification of subjects by initial hemodynamic parameters (such as Ejection Fraction, for example) would be possible depending on the total number of subjects in each group.

  • Subject's systolic blood pressure is less than 100 mmHg on the day of implant
  • Subject has decompensated heart failure
  • Subject has significant (\>2+) valvular regurgitation or any valvular stenosis.
  • Subject has permanent atrial fibrillation
  • Subject has atrial fibrillation on the day of the study.
  • Subject has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, or interventricular septal thickness ≥15 mm
  • Subject is on dialysis
  • Subject has a history of prior neurological events (stroke or TIA) within the past year or a neurological event (stroke) at any prior time that has resulted in residual neurologic deficit.
  • Subject has a history of autonomic dysfunction
  • Patient cannot receive heparin for any reason (such as a history of Heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT))
  • Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding
  • Subject cannot or is unwilling to provide informed consent.
