Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Effect of biventricular upgrade on left ventricular reverse remodeling and clinical outcomes in patient in left ventricular dysfunction and intermittent or permanent apical/septal right ventricular pacing (Budapest CRT upgrade study)

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: CRT-D

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of upgrade to a CRT-D device on clinical and echocardiographic response at 12-month in patients with left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF ≤35%), symptomatic heart failure (NYHA II, III, IV-a), and intermittent or permanent right ventricular pacing with paced QRS complex ≥ 150 ms compared to continued therapy with a single or dual chamber pacemaker (PM) or ICD.

Prospective, post-market, international multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
CRT-D

Patients currently implanted with a single or dual chamber pacemaker or ICD will be upgraded to CRT.

Device: CRT-D
Biventricular upgrade. Subjects meeting the inclusion criteria (and if exclusion criteria are not present) patients will be randomized to CRT-D upgrade or ICD only (either continued ICD therapy in patients currently implanted with a defibrillator or implantation of a defibrillator in eligible patients who are currently implanted with pacemaker-only).

Only ICD

In the ICD arm, choosing single or dual chamber device is based upon the investigator's discretion. Subjects meeting the inclusion criteria (and if exclusion criteria are not present) patients will be randomized to CRT-D upgrade or ICD only (either continued ICD therapy in patients currently implanted with a defibrillator or implantation of a defibrillator in eligible patients who are currently implanted with pacemaker-only).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. A composite clinical and echocardiographic end point comprising the first occurrence of a non-fatal heart failure event, all-cause mortality, or < 15% reduction in echocardiography determined LVESV from baseline to 12-month. [12 months]

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
18 Years and Older

All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
No
Inclusion Criteria:
  • Male or female patients over the age of 18 (expected survival time: over 1 year)

  • Patients with ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathy;

  • Those implanted with a single or dual chamber ICD or implanted with a single or dual chamber pacemaker at least 6 months before inclusion;

  • Elective generator replacement or upgrade from pacemaker-only to ICD therapy may be indicated at the time of enrollment, but are not required;

  • Right ventricular pacing 20-100% in at least the last 90 days before enrollment (with an optimal AV interval based on the physician's discretion to avoid unnecessary right ventricular stimulation);

  • Symptomatic heart failure for at least 3 months before inclusion;

  • NYHA functional class II or III, or IV a;

  • Optimal heart failure medical therapy;

  • Informed consent obtained.

Exclusion Criteria:
  • Intrinsic QRS with LBBB morphology (measured at VVI 40 bpm setting as per protocol);

  • CABG or PCI in the past 3 months;

  • Acute myocardial infarction in the past 3 months;

  • Unstable angina;

  • Planned coronary revascularization (PCI or CABG);

  • Planned cardiac transplantation;

  • Acute myocarditis;

  • Infiltrative myocardial disease;

  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy;

  • Severe primary mitral and aortic valve stenosis or regurgitation;

  • Women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant or breastfeeding;

  • Subjects who are unable or unwilling to cooperate with the study protocol;

  • Tricuspid valve prosthesis;

  • Any serious disease likely to interfere with the conduct of the study;

  • Participation in other clinical trial;

  • Patients geographically not stable or unavailable for follow-up;
