About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Heart Failure, Congestive

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria: chronic symptomatic HF despite stable, optimal drug therapy indication for a cardiac resynchronisation device with defibrillator backup according to current guidelines patients implanted with cardiac resynchronization device with dual (atrial and ventricular) defibrillation capabilities Exclusion Criteria: Chronic atrial fibrillation Valvular disease patients who underwent or are planned for ablation of atrial fibrillation cerebral vascular accident/transient ischemic attack within 12 months from implant which lead to relevant impairment preexisting unipolar pacemaker

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Device managed arm

Traditional arm

Arm Description

Device-managed therapy arm. Shock therapy for atrial arrhythmias is delivered automatically from the device.

Traditional therapy arm. In this arm, therapy for atrial arrhythmias will be delivered from the device through command of the physician and in a hospital environment. Therefore, patients who will experience symptoms at home, will refer to their center, eventually hospitalized and treated for atrial arrhythmias.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Unplanned Hospital Admissions for Cardiac Reasons OR Death of Cardiovascular Causes OR Progression to Chronic Atrial Fibrillation

Brief Summary
Demonstrate the efficacy of the device-based managed therapy to treat atrial tachycardia and fibrillation (AT/AF) in patients with CHF indication for implant of a CRT defibrillator and to demonstrate the advantage of automatic electrical therapy of atrial arrhythmias compared to an in-hospital approach for treatment of symptomatic AT/AF.
