Arrythmia Burden in Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM)

Atrial FibrillationArrythmia

The Impulse Dynamics Optimizer Device is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved; commercially available device indicated for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Many candidates of this device have a previously implanted cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED)- internal cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or permanent pacemaker (PM). Patients with heart failure are at high risk for both atrial and ventricular cardiac arrhythmias. The aim of this study is to evaluate patients for Atrial fibrillation (AF) burden episode data obtained from interrogation of their CIED 8 months or greater after Optimizer implant and compare arrhythmia burden 6 months before Optimizer Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) device insertion to 8 months or greater after Optimizer insertion (after 2 month blanking period).

CMR Based Prediction of Ventricular Tachycardia Events in Healed Myocardial Infarction (DEVELOP-VT)...

Myocardial InfarctionMyocardial Infarction Old6 more

Fibrotic tissue is known to be the substrate for the appearance of scar-related reentrant ventricular arrhythmias (VA) in chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). Late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) has proven to be a useful technique in the non-invasive characterization of the scarred tissue and the underlying arrhythmogenic substrate. Previous studies identified the presence of significant scarring (> 5% of the left ventricular -LV- mass) is an independent predictor of adverse outcome (all-cause mortality or appropriate ICD discharge for ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation) in patients being considered for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement. Parallelly, the presence of heterogeneous tissue channels, which correlate with voltage channels after endocardial voltage mapping of the scar, can be more frequently observed in patients suffering from sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardias (SMVT) than in matched controls for age, sex, infarct location, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, the lack of solid evidence and randomized trials make LVEF still the main decision parameter when assessing suitability for ICD implantation in primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD). In a recent, case-control study, we identified the border zone channel (BZC) mass as the only independent predictor for VT occurrence, after matching for age, sex, LVEF and total scar mass. This BZC mass can be automatically calculated using a commercially available, post-processing imaging platform named ADAS 3D LV (ADAS3D Medical, Barcelona, Spain), with FDA 510(k) Clearance and European Community Mark approval. Thus, CMR-derived BZC mass might be used as an automatically reproducible criterium to reclassify those patients with chronic ICM at highest risk for developing VA/SCD in a relatively short period of approx. 2 years. In the present cohort study, we sought to evaluate the usefulness of the BZC mass measurement to predict the occurrence of VT events in a prospective, multicenter, unselected series of consecutive chronic ischemic patients without previous arrhythmia evidence, irrespectively of their LVEF.

Implantable devices increase the detection of silent atrial fibrillation in high-risk populations, being a useful tool in the early diagnosis of these patients, allowing monitoring for a longer time. Currently, these devices can be used for monitoring and possible early diagnosis of abnormalities in order to prevent health complications and bring about better outcomes, as well as monitor the user's progress and thus prevent more serious developments. Objective: to analyze, in patients with cardiovascular disease, the electrocardiographic aspects detected from the device in comparison to the conventional electrocardiogram, identifying aspects of similarity between the tracings obtained and automatic diagnostic accuracy by the device and by the visual assessment of the tracing. Method: a cross-sectional observational study of diagnostic accuracy will be carried out at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Piaui. The following parameters were considered: significance level of 95%, test power of 80%, value of the disease diagnosis rate of 84%, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 94% and an equal proportion of the number of positive and negative cases. The minimum sample size consisted of 100 patients, and an additional 10% will be added to compensate for possible losses. A total of 110 patients will be invited to participate in the study. Patients aged ≥ 18 years will be included, with the presence of one or more diagnoses below: systemic arterial hypertension, heart failure, valvular disease, coronary atherosclerotic disease, myocardial infarction, endocarditis, myocarditis, diabetes, cardiac arrhythmias and patients with cardiac pace or implantable automatic defibrillator. The variables analyzed will be: clinical-demographic data of the patients, including age, sex, race, socioeconomic profile; comorbidities and electrocardiographic findings as measured by the clock and conventional ECG. The data will be analyzed comparatively between the groups: 1 = EKG on the clock; 2 = 12-lead conventional EKG and DI (single lead). The primary outcome will be the positive diagnostic correlation of the data obtained in group 1 in relation to group 2. Secondary outcomes: successful measurement of the electrocardiographic record by the clock; diagnostic accuracy of atrial fibrillation and other heart rhythm disorders.

The Correlation Between Gut Microbiome-host Interaction and Ventricular Arrhythmias.

Gut Microbiome

This study will enroll 30 subjects recruited from the electrophysiology device clinic at the VA medical center. All patients will have a pre-existing implantable cardioverter defibrillator and a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy with left ventricular systolic function of 35% or less by echocardiogram done within 3 years of the time of enrollment. 10 patients who have had no device-monitored ventricular fibrillation/ ventricular tachycardia for the 3 months prior to recruitment will comprise a group of controls. 20 patients will comprise a group of patients with high burden of ventricular arrhythmias, defined as patients with at least one sustained episode of ventricular tachycardia/ ventricular fibrillation requiring implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapies in the 3 months preceding study enrollment. This information will be obtained from device interrogation at the time of recruitment. Patients will provide a fecal sample for analysis at the time of enrollment.
