Indication for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)
Conditions
Keywords
Pacemaker therapy, Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT)
Brief summary
The Evia HF-T and the Entovis HF-T are triple-chamber pacemakers for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT-P). The objective of this study is to prove the safety and efficacy of these pacemakers. In particular, the left ventricular (LV) capture control feature is evaluated, which automatically measures the LV pacing threshold and subsequently adjusts the pacing output.
Interventions
Implantation of CRT pacemaker and standard follow-ups at pre-hospital discharge, and after 1, 3 and 6 months

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Safety: Serious Adverse Device Effect (SADE) free rate | Until 3 month follow-up | While the investigator is asked to record all adverse events throughout the study, only the number of SADEs possibly or securely related to a device deficiency will be the basis for the calculation of the SADE free rate: (1-number of SADE divided by number of patients)%. |
| Efficacy of the left ventricular capture control feature (focus on threshold measurements) | At pre-hospital discharge, 1 and 3 month follow-up | Absolute difference between the triggered automatic and manual pacing threshold in the left ventricle is smaller than 0.3 Volt. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Efficacy of the left ventricular capture control feature (focus on pulse amplitude adjustment) | 1 and 3 month follow-up | Rate of appropriate adjustment of the left ventricular (LV) pulse amplitude by the LV capture control feature is greater than 90%. |
