Filter by:Observational study is evaluating Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)/Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) thérapies as a function of ventricular pacing
The purpose of this clinical study is to collect simultaneous, multiple view cardiac signals representing both transvenous ICDs (T-ICD) and sensing vectors from the subcutaneous implantable defibrillator system (S-ICD). Upon completion, this data will represent the first true database capable of comparing detection characteristics of transvenous and subcutaneous ICDs. Future protocols will be created to dictate the specific methods of such comparisons.
Primary Objective: To characterize left ventricular (LV) threshold behavior over time using daily left ventricular capture management (LVCM) measurements. Study Design: This is a multicenter, prospective, non-interventional study with patients receiving their first cardiac resynchronisation therapy-implantable cardioverter defibrillator (CRT-ICD) device. The study design, based on the primary objective, is an observational examination of LV thresholds over time. Daily left ventricular threshold measurements will be collected using the LVCM feature. Up to 150 patients will be enrolled in Canada to evaluate the primary objective at up to 15 study centers. Data will be collected at Baseline, Implant, 12 months post-implant and all regularly scheduled follow-up visits up to 12 months post-implant. Devices: The ConcertoTM CRT-ICD device and future Medtronic CRT-ICD devices containing the LVCM feature will be used in this study.
In many aspects of every-day life, modern communication systems bring about a remarkable increase in comfort and safety by transmitting data and information in an easy and reliable manner. In order to provide these advantages also to patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, as well as to their physicians, BIOTRONIK has developed a long-distance implant telemetry to enable periodic trend and event-triggered transmissions of implant data and intracardiac electrogram over distances of several meters. The data is received by a patient device and subsequently automatically transferred to a BIOTRONIK Service Center that provides it to the physician on a password secured internet site. Hence, the physician receives diagnostic information without the patient having to visit the physician (Home Monitoring, HM). New possibilities will arise for a detailed medical and event-correlated supervision of the patient's therapy using electrically active implants.
To document practices in Canadian ICD implant centres around defibrillation therapy efficacy testing.
This prospective, randomized, single blind, multi-centre study will examine the effect of the right ventricular (RV) lead location in patients implanted with a cardiac resynchronization defibrillator. 1. Purpose : To compare the effect of RV mid-septal (RVS) versus RV apical (RVA) lead location on left ventricular reverse remodeling in patients indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy device (CRT-D) over a period of 6 months and to evaluate the clinical outcome of the RVS versus RVA pacing, over a period of 12 months. 2. Objectives: The primary objective is to demonstrate that there is no difference between the two groups (RVA vs. RVS) in the change of left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV), between baseline and 6 months. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the percentage of "echo-responders" plus additional clinical and safety outcomes. This prospective, randomized, multi-centre, single-blind with 2 parallel arms, non-inferiority study will be conducted in approximately 25 study centres in Europe. The patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio. A maximum of 416 patients will be enrolled in this study. All eligible patients will be followed through baseline, randomisation, pre discharge, 1, 6 and 12 months post-implant. Enrolment is expected to be completed in 18 months. The total duration of the study is expected to be approximately 30 months.
This trial will assess the safety of defibrillator testing and the influence of defibrillation testing on the efficacy of clinical shocks. The trial will test the hypothesis that implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation without defibrillation testing (DT) is non-inferior to implantation with testing against the composite endpoint of ineffective first appropriate clinical shock or arrhythmic death. It will also test the hypothesis, that defibrillation testing increases the peri-operative (30 days) complication rate of ICD implantation.
The RAPTURE Study will determine whether dual chamber defibrillators with atrial prevention and termination therapies, minimized ventricular pacing, and remote monitoring will reduce the rate of inappropriate shocks and improve quality of life compared to optimally programmed back-up pacing only single chamber ICDs when used for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death
This clinical trial is a multi center, prospective, randomized, parallel study designed to compare septal to apical ICD lead placement.
The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the acceptance level of specific programming recommendations based on the patient's clinical needs and primary indications when using the feature 'Indications Based Programming' (IBP) available in the ZOOMVIEW Software Application for the TELIGEN DR / VR and COGNIS family of devices compared to daily life programming chosen by physicians.
