Heart Diseases Clinical Trial
— BLOCK HFOfficial title:
Biventricular Versus Right Ventricular Pacing in Heart Failure Patients With Atrioventricular Block (BLOCK HF)
Heart failure is a progressive disease that decreases the pumping action of the heart. This
may cause a backup of fluid in the heart and may result in heart beat changes. When there
are changes in the heartbeat, sometimes a pacemaker is used to control the rate and rhythm
of the heartbeat. In this trial, the researchers will test if pacing both the left and right
lower half of the heart (ventricles) will:
- decrease the number of hospital and clinic visits due to heart failure symptoms
- extend life
- delay heart failure symptoms as compared to those who are paced in only one ventricle
(the right ventricle)

Primary | Mortality, Heart Failure-related Urgent Care Visits, or Significant Increase in Left Ventricular End Systolic Volume Index (LVESVI) | Events include all-cause mortality, heart failure(HF)-related urgent care (a healthcare utilization visit involving intravenous(IV) therapy for heart failure) or significant increase(at least 15%) in LVESVI (a measure of the volume of a patient's left ventricle) from randomization to a later time point. Time from randomization until the subject experienced one of these events served as the outcome measure. LVESVI endpoints occurred primarily at those visits in which LVESVI measurements were required (6, 12, 18, 24 months). Because endpoints such as death or HF urgent care could occur at any time during follow-up, the subject's outcome measure could range from less than 1 month to 105 months (maximum follow-up duration). Primary endpoints and follow-up data occurring after a subject missed a required LVESVI measurement were excluded from the analysis and the table below. The counts reflect the number of subjects meeting each endpoint, and are not necessarily mutually exclusive. | Participants were followed for the duration of the study, an average of 39.8 months post-randomization. | No |
Secondary | All-Cause Mortality | The endpoint is the time to death from any cause. The rate of mortality, as measure by the hazard rate, in each randomization arm will be compared. This outcome includes all post-randomization deaths, whereas the reporting of the primary outcome excluded primary endpoints (including deaths) that occurred after the subject had missed a study-required echocardiogram (used to determine if the LVESVI primary endpoint was met). |
Participants were followed for the duration of the study, an average of 39.8 months post-randomization. | No |
Secondary | All-Cause Mortality or Heart Failure-related Hospitalization | The endpoint will be a subject's time from randomization to either their first heart failure-related hospitalization, or death. | Participants were followed for the duration of the study, an average of 39.8 months post-randomization. | No |
Secondary | All-Cause Mortality or Significant Increase in Left Ventricular End Systolic Volume Index | The endpoint will be the time from randomization to either death or a visit (6, 12, 18, 24 month or interim visit) in which the subject undergoes an echocardiogram and the measured left ventricular end systolic volume index (a measure of the size of the subject's left ventricle normalized over their body surface area) is at least 15% greater than the corresponding measured value at randomization. Only LVESVI endpoints/deaths and follow-up data occurring before a subject missed an LVESVI measurement (due to missed visit, echo not performed, etc.) were used in the analysis and included in the table below. The counts reflect the number of subjects meeting each endpoint, and are not mutually exclusive. |
Participants were followed for the duration of the study, an average of 39.8 months post-randomization. | No |
Secondary | First Heart Failure Hospitalization | The endpoint is the time from randomization to a subject's first heart failure (HF)-related hospitalization.

Secondary | Days Hospitalized for Heart Failure | For each subject the endpoint was the days hospitalized for heart failure per patient year, calculated as the total number of days the subject was hospitalized for heart failure divided by the subject's total follow-up time. Only post-randomization data were used. | Participants were followed for the duration of the study, an average of 39.8 months post-randomization. | No |

Secondary | Change in Heart Failure Stage | The endpoint is a subject's change in Heart Failure Stage (a measure of the degree of heart failure a subject has on a 4 stage scale (A, B, C, D), with Class A being the healthiest score and Class D being the sickest score) from randomization to each of four time points: 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months. | Randomization to 24 Months | No |
Secondary | Change in Cardiovascular Medications | The endpoints are what classes of drugs (e.g. Beta blockers, Diuretics, Nitrates, etc.) each subject was on at the time of scheduled visits (e.g Randomization, 6 months, 12 months, etc.) | Participants were followed for the duration of the study, an average of 39.8 months post-randomization. | No |
Secondary | Frequency of Adverse Events Post-randomization | Adverse events that subjects experienced after they were randomized were compared between arms with regard to several categories such as heart failure (HF)-relatedness, relatedness to the implant procedure, and relatedness to the implanted system, including individual components such as the left ventricular (LV) lead and the CRT-P or CRT-D generator. | Participants were followed for the duration of the study, an average of 39.8 months post-randomization. | Yes |
Secondary | Cardiovascular-related Healthcare Utilizations | Cardiovascular-related healthcare utilizations (HCUs), such as hospitalizations, Emergency Department visits, urgent care visits, and clinic visits that subjects experienced after being randomized were summarized for each randomization arm | Participants were followed for the duration of the study, an average of 39.8 months post-randomization. | No |

For each subject the measure will be the randomization visit - 6 month difference in QOL score, with positive values denoting a reduction in score and improvement in Quality of Life. Subjects with missing QOL scores at one or both time points were excluded from analysis, and so the number of subjects analyzed for this outcome was a subset of the number of randomized subjects. |
