Conditions
Brief summary
A single centre study collecting and analyzing intra-thoracic and intra-cardiac electrical impedance measurements, intra-cardiac conduction time delays, and the left ventricular evoked response signal parameters from the St Jude Medical Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (SJM CRT) device in a heart failure population with an implanted left atrial pressure sensor.
Interventions
Patients requiring the insertion of a Bi-ventricular pacemaker/defibrillator, for treatment of ventricular dyssynchrony and heart failure, will be offered the oppurtunity to participate in this trial. The sponsor will provide the PROMOTE device Model 3213, or later automatic internal cardiac defibrillator devices with similar functions. A HeartPOD (Left Atrial Pressure monitoring device) will be implanted at the same time. Research of the new features of the PROMOTE device to capture intra-thoracic and intra-cardiac electrical impedance measurements and left atrial pressures will be done. The completion of the trial will be when the 12th participant has had one year of follow-up.
