Clinical Trial Summary

Evaluation of the effect of short term activation/deactivation of biventricular pacing (BivP) of the CRT (during routine CRT interrogation) on vascular function as assessed via retinal vessel analysis (RVA), in patients treated with CRT.


Clinical Trial Description

Heart failure is a condition in which the heart becomes unable to maintain the body's need of blood supply. Congestive heart failure can be considered a syndrome but the final common path of many cardiovascular diseases. Recently, the investigators of this study confirmed an increased impairment in retinal microvascular function in patients with ischemic heart failure compared to patients with stable coronary disease. If medication fails to improve ejection fraction, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is the guideline-recommended treatment for patients with advanced heart failure and bundle branch block. The question remains if CRT changes purely hemodynamics by synchronizing the heart or has potential impact on the microvasculature to cause reverse remodeling of the failing heart. Measuring retinal vascular function might increase knowledge on the effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy. ;
