Summary

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has shown improvement in mortality and morbidity in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction and congestive heart failure. Additionally in CRT patients it has been demonstrated that optimizing paced/sensed atrioventricular (AV) and interventricular (V-V) timings leads to immediate hemodynamic benefits and further improves cardiac function. Recent studies have shown that optimal paced/sensed AV and V-V delays change over time, which raises the question of how often optimization should be repeated. Thus, frequent re-optimization of these delays might be beneficial for maintaining significant improvement of cardiac function. However, it remains to be evaluated whether timing optimization may be beneficial on patients who have received CRT for a number of years and are now having the CRT device replaced.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

QuickOpt - SJM CRT (Group 1)

The patient's device is programmed to sequential Bi-V pacing mode with paced/sensed AV and V-V delays optimized using QuickOpt. For Group 1 patients, optimization using QuickOpt is performed at enrollment, 3, 6, 9 and 12 month visits.

DEVICE

Control - SJM CRT (Group 2)

The patient's device is programmed to either simultaneous or sequential Bi-V pacing mode as per physician's discretion. The paced/sensed AV and V-V delays could be programmed empirically or optimized using any non-intracardiac electrogram (IEGM) based method as per sites standard of care. However, the Group 2 patients can be optimized only once within the first 4 weeks post CRT replacement. Any paced/sensed AV and V-V delay optimizations performed after 4 weeks post CRT replacement in Group 2 patients will be considered a protocol deviation.
