NCT ID: NCT05769036 Recruiting - Heart Failure Clinical Trials

Conventional Biventricular Versus Left Bundle Branch Pacing on Outcomes in Heart Failure Patients

RECOVER-HF
Start date: October 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Heart failure (HF) is the most common nosology encountered in clinical practice. Its incidence and prevalence increase exponentially with increasing age and it is associated with increased mortality, more frequent hospitalization and decreased quality of life. An initial approach to the treatment of HF patients with reduced left ventricular (LV) systolic function and left bundle branch block (LBBB) was implantation of cardioresynchronization device using biventricular pacing. This has resulted in long-term clinical benefits such as improved quality of life, increased functional capacity, reduced HF hospitalizations and overall mortality. However, conventional cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is effective in only 70% of patients. And the remaining 30% of patients are non-responders to conventional CRT. Subsequently, His bundle pacing (HBP) has been developed to achieve the same results. According to other studies HBP has showed greater improvement in hemodynamic parameters than with conventional biventricular CRT. But, nevertheless, there are significant clinical troubles with HBP. In this regard, in 2017, the left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) was developed, which demonstrated clinical advantages compared to biventricular CRT. This method has become an alternative to HBP due to the stimulation of LBB outside the blocking site, a stable pacing threshold and a narrow QRS duration. A series of case reports and observational studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of LBBP in patients with CRT indications. However, it is not enough data about CRT with LBBP effectiveness in LV remodeling, reducing mortality and complications. According to our hypothesis, CRT with LBBP compared with conventional biventricular CRT will significantly improve the clinical outcomes and reverse LV remodeling in patients with chronic HF with reduced LV ejection fraction and reduce the number of non-responders to conventional CRT.

AMEND-CRT: Mechanical Dyssynchrony as Selection Criterion for CRT

AMEND-CRT
Start date: December 10, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Previous experience with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) candidates suggests that selection of these patients can be improved. Current clinical guideline approaches are mainly too unspecific and lead to a high non-responder rate of 30-40%, which causes a burden on health care systems and puts patients at risk of an unnecessary treatment who might benefit more from a conservative approach. Previous work indicated that using the assessment of mechanical dyssynchrony on echocardiography can lower the non-responder rate at least by 50% without compromising sensitivity for detecting amendable patients. The current prospective, randomized, multi-center trial was therefore designed to prove that the characterization of the mechanical properties of the left ventricle can improve patient selection for CRT. Patients will be randomized into one of two study arms: a control study arm with treatment recommendation based on clinical guidelines criteria, or an experimental study arm with treatment recommendation based on the presence of mechanical dyssynchrony. All patients will receive a CRT implantation. In the control study arm, bi-ventricular pacing will be turned on. In the experimental study arm, bi-ventricular pacing will be turned on or off, depending on the presence or absence of mechanical dyssynchrony, respectively. The primary endpoint will be non-inferiority in outcome of a treatment recommendation based on mechanical dyssynchrony, achieved with a lower number of CRT devices implanted, effectively leading to a lower number needed to treat. Outcome measures are the average relative change in continuously measured LVESV per arm and the percentage 'worsened' according to the Packer Clinical Composite Score per arm after 1 year follow-up.

NCT ID: NCT01390532 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Left Ventricular Dyssynchrony

Rest/Stress Quantification Of Left Ventricular Dyssynchrony By 3D Gated Blood Pool D-SPECT

Start date: August 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is an established treatment for patients with advanced heart failure and left ventricular dyssynchrony (LVD). Too many patients do not clinically improve with CRT. New LVD markers other than QRS duration are needed. Study objective : feasibility assessment of rest and real-time stress 3D Blood-Pool Gated SPECT (BPGS) with a new designed cardiac imaging camera (DSPECT, Spectrum Dynamics®, Ceasaria, Israel) to quantify LVD.
