Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Safe EMB, defined as no increase in adverse event rate, when compared with standalone CIED implant, measured by monitoring the adverse event rate at 4-6 months follow-up 2. Change in working diagnosis and treatment plan measured using patient clinical history and medication review following EMB at 4-6 month follow-up 3. Correlation of pacing parameters and multi-parametric non-invasive CMR imaging, and EAM (mapped voltage and frequency) abnormalities with EMB findings to characterise location and depth measured after the procedure

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Successful endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) using the lead-in-sheath method, defined as yielding myocardial tissue, measured during pathology analysis post procedure

Countries

England, United Kingdom
