Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Be scheduled to undergo implant of a Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) system with approved standard indication per accepted guidelines as a new implant or an upgrade from an existing Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) or pacemaker with no prior left ventricular lead placement * Be in sinus rhythm at the time of enrollment * Have the ability to provide informed consent for study participation and be willing and able to comply with the Clinical Investigational Plan described evaluations
Exclusion criteria
* Have persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation * Be in New York Heart Association (NYHA) IV functional class * Have prior left ventricular (LV) lead implant * Be pacemaker-dependent * Have a recent myocardial infarction within 40 days prior to enrollment * Have undergone cardiac bypass surgery or coronary revascularization procedure within 3 months prior to enrollment or be scheduled for such procedures in the following 7 months * Have had a recent Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 3 months prior to enrollment * Have had intravenous inotropic support in the last 30 days * Exhibit Cheyne-Stokes respiration * Be less than 18 years of age * Be pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the duration of the investigation * Be currently participating in any other clinical investigation
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Percent of patients with the left ventricle (LV) lead implanted at the site of latest mechanical activation | This outcome measure will be assessed after an off-line analysis immediately after implant |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) as defined by percent change in end-systolic volume (ESV) at 6-month follow-up relative to baseline. | 6 months after implant |
