Summary

Background

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is proven to improve survival and heart function of patient with certain electrical conduction abnormality and heart failure. However, in patient with certain electrical conduction abnormality, a good response is observed in less than 40% in patient receiving CRT. Conventionally the surgical approach of CRT is to implant one pacing lead in the right heart and one in the left heart to resynchronize the contraction and the pacing lead in the left heart is usually placed in the posterior or lateral portion of the left heart. However, this single approach may not be optimal, especially for those patients with conduction abnormality known to have poor response to CRT.

Purpose of the clinical investigation

The purpose of the Electrical Activation Guided CRT Study is to study the effectiveness of a tailored made approach to CRT procedure by using a noninvasive globally mapping system studying the electrical conduction under different approaches to delivery CRT. The pacing approach that optimally corrects conduction abnormality will be determined before the actual implantation procedure.

Conduct of the Investigation

This study will include 93 patients with conduction abnormality that known to have a poor response to CRT from Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong.Subjects will be followed up at 3 months and 6 months visit.

PROCEDURE

Noninvasive electrical dyssynchrony study

Ventricular activation maps will be acquired simultaneously with hemodynamic measurements using noninvasive mapping system (ECVUE, Medtronic Inc, USA). A thoracic computed tomographic scan will be acquired with the electrodes attached to the patient. Local ventricular activation times will be defined as the onset of the QRS complex or the pacing spike to the maximal negative slope of each unipolar electrogram. Pacing leads will be placed in high right atrium, His-bundle region, right ventricular apex, high septal RV, coronary sinus posterior/lateral branch, coronary sinus anterior branch, lateral and septal region of endocardial LV in order to deliver CRT in 8 different configurations.
