  • Recent (within the last month) or planned cardiac revascularization or coronary angioplasty
  • Correctable valvular disease that is the primary cause of heart failure
  • Mechanical tricuspid valve
  • Receiving continuous intra-venous infusion of positive inotropic therapy or intermittent therapy (intravenous infusion) more than twice per week

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a new sensor-based diagnostic feature, which has been implemented in a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device. This trial will study the effectiveness of the diagnostic feature to detect heart failure events in medically stable, ICD-indicated, congestive heart failure patients.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a new sensor-based diagnostic feature, which has been implemented in a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device. This trial will study the effectiveness of the diagnostic feature to detect heart failure events in medically stable, ICD-indicated, congestive heart failure patients. The ability of the diagnostic feature to 'detect' and 'predict' heart failure events will be studied.
