Intervention

Device:
Rate adaptive atrial pacing using a dual-chamber pacemaker
The Azure XT DR is a permanent, dual-chamber cardiac pacemaker with the ability to continuously monitor and record patient activity, and respond to activity by pacing faster and increasing the heart rate (rate adaptive atrial pacing). It will be programmed in AAIR mode to pace the right atrium. The leads will be placed in the right atrium and right ventricle using CapSureFix model 5086.
Pacemaker system will be implanted but set to Pacing Off.
The identical pacing system will be implanted, but will be set to Pacing Off.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Mean Peak Heart Rate (HR) Determined as the maximum heart rate . Heart rate (or pulse rate) is the frequency of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions of the heart per minute (beats per minute, or bpm). 4 weeks
Primary Change in Oxygen Consumption (VO2) at Ventilatory Anaerobic Threshold (VAT) Maximal effort cardiopulmonary exercise testing was performed on a treadmill after 4 weeks of pacing-on and after 4 weeks of pacing-off to measure volumes of oxygen consumed (VO2). Change in VO2 at anaerobic threshold (VO2,AT) determined by the V-Slope method as the point of disproportionate rise in VCO2 relative to VO2 as measured in ml/kg/min. baseline, after 4 weeks of treatment
Secondary Peak Aerobic Capacity (Peak VO2) Determined as the mean of values obtained over the final 30 seconds of exercise. Maximal effort cardiopulmonary exercise testing was performed on a treadmill after 4 weeks of pacing-on and after 4 weeks of pacing-off to measure volumes of oxygen consumed (VO2). As measured in ml/kg/min. 4 weeks after pacemaker activation
Secondary Ventilatory Efficiency (VE/VCO2) Determined as the nadir of VE/VCO2 ratio during exercise. Maximal effort cardiopulmonary exercise testing was performed on a treadmill after 4 weeks of pacing-on and after 4 weeks of pacing-off to measure volumes of oxygen consumed (VO2). 4 weeks
Secondary Change in Plasma N-terminal Pro B-type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) Change in plasma NT-proBNP as measured in pg/mL. Natriuretic peptides are substances made by the heart. A main type of these substances is NT-proBNP. Elevated levels can mean the heart isn't pumping as much blood the body needs. baseline, after 4 weeks of treatment
Secondary Change in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) Overall Summary Score Change from baseline in KCCQ-overall summary score was reported. KCCQ was a 23-item, self-administered questionnaire that measure the participant's perception of their health status, including their heart failure (HF) symptoms, impact on physical and social function and how their HF impacts the quality of life. KCCQ quantifies 7 domains: physical limitations (6 items), symptom stability (1 item), symptom frequency (4 items), symptom burden (3 items), self-efficacy (2 items), quality of life (3 items) and social limitations (4 items). Scores were generated for each domain and scaled from 0 to 100, with 0 denoting the worst and 100 the best possible status. KCCQ- overall summary score was average of domains- physical limitation, total symptoms (average of symptom frequency and symptom burden), quality of life, and social limitation, and transformed to a single score which ranged from 0 (worst) -100 (the best possible status), where the higher score reflected better health status. baseline, after 4 weeks of treatment
