Clinical Trial Summary

The main objective of RIGHT-CRT is to assess the impact/efficacy of CRT on functional capacity in ACHD patients with SRV.

Description:

This study will be the first to bring evidence on CRT efficacy in ACHD patients with heart failure and SRV. If results are positives, CRT may improve functional capacities and quality of life of patients and will become an option of choice in this population. If results are negatives, futile CRT implantation may be avoided in this population in particular considering potential adverse effects and CRT-related complications.

Double blind randomized cross-over trial. 40 patients will be enroled. Their follow-up will be 6 months.

Intervention

Device:
• CRT ON (biventricular pacing) / CRT OFF (inactive or univentricular pacing)
Patients randomized to the CRT ON / CRT OFF arm will undergo a first intervention to activate their device and then a second intervention for 3 months to inactivate their device.
• CRT OFF (inactive or univentricular pacing) / CRT ON (biventricular pacing)
Patients randomized to the CRT OFF / CRT ON arm will undergo a first intervention to inactivate their device and then a second intervention for 3 months to activate their device.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	6-minute walk test	The 6-minute walk test will be performed by a trained technician, indoors, along a long, flat, straight, enclosed corridor with a hard surface and a minimal length of 30 meters. The length of the corridor will be marked every 3 meters and the turnaround points will be marked with a cone. The starting line will be marked on the floor using brightly colored tape. Specific and standardized instructions will be transmitted to the patient.	Change from the end of the first cross over period (3 months) to the end of the second cross over period (6 months)
