About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Symptoms of heart failure Left ventricular dysfunction Ventricular dyssynchrony 18 years or of legal age in order to give informed consent according to national laws Able to understand the nature of the procedure Available for follow-up on a regular basis at an approved investigational center Exclusion Criteria: Atrial Fibrillation Life expectancy of less than six months due to other medical conditions For women: pregnancy or absence of medically accepted birth control Inability or refusal to sign the Patient Informed Consent Inability or refusal to comply with the follow up schedule or protocol requirements Inability to undergo device implant, including general anaesthesia if required Mechanical tricuspid prosthesis Currently enrolled in another investigational study, including drug investigations Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM) Not meeting the inclusion criteria

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Renewal CRT (CRT ICD)

Arm Description

Single arm study only. All patients will undergo advanced echocardiographic examination pre-operative, pre-discharge after implantation and at 3 and 6-months follow-up. AV-delay optimization will be performed using aortic VTI (Velocity Time Integral) measured by continuous wave Doppler in a modified 4-chamber view. During optimisation aortic VTI will be measured at different heart rates reached by increasing atrial pacing 10, 20 and 30 beats above intrinsic heart rate (IHR).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Aortic Velocity Time Integral (VTI)
Velocity time integral of the aortic flow correlates with cardiac output and is an accepted parameter for optimization of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT).
Optimal AV-Delay (AVD)
Optimal AV-Delay will be measured at implant (baseline ), 3months and 6 months Follow-up for intrinsic heart rate, and 10, 20 and 30 Bpm above intrinsic heart rate.

Secondary Outcome Measures

6 Minute Walk Test
6 Minute Walk Test was performed at implant (baseline), 3 months and 6 months follow-up Distance walked within 6 minutes is assessed in meter. This is a test that reflects daily life activities of elderly patients.
Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF)
Left ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) was measured before implant (baseline) and at 3 and 6 months Follow-up

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This prospective study will evaluate in patients, fulfilling implant criteria for Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) implant, the optimal atrial contribution to the resynchronised ventricles in the event of right atrial pacing.
Detailed Description
All patients will undergo advanced echocardiographic examination pre-operative, pre-discharge after implantation and at 3 and 6-months follow-up. AV-delay optimization will be performed using aortic VTI measured by continuous wave Doppler in a modified 4-chamber view. During optimisation aortic VTI will be measured at different heart rates reached by increasing atrial pacing 10, 20 and 30 beats above intrinsic heart rate (IHR).
