Chronic Heart Failure
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this clinical study is to observe the safety and efficacy of the multi-vector left ventricular (LV) lead in Chinese patients that are indicated for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT).
Detailed description
This is a multi-center, non-randomized observational study. The total duration of the study is expected to be 2.5 years. The clinical study will be conducted in no more than 15 centers in China. Approximately 120 subjects will be enrolled in this study. Subjects will be followed up at 3, 6, 12 months and every 6 months afterwards. All subjects need to be followed for at least 6 months.
Interventions
The study will include the Quartet™ family of left heart leads or any newer St. Jude Medical quadripolar CRT systems, including CRT-P systems, that China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) might approve in the future

| The Number of Participants With Effective LV Pacing | 6 months | The effectiveness endpoint is the number of participants with effective LV pacing compared to the total number of analyzed participants. The following must be met to be considered effective LV pacing: * Pacing threshold (immediately after implant): for pacing threshold at a pulse width of 0.5 ms, the voltage must be ≤3.5 Voltage (V) in any LV lead vector. * Pacing stability (pre-discharge, 3 months and 6 months after implant): for pacing threshold at a pulse width of 0.5 ms, the voltage must be ≤6.0V in any LV lead vector. * Pacing impedance (immediately after implant): Impedance value in any LV lead vector must be in the normal range of 200-2000 ohm (Ω). * Table 9: Impedance stability (pre-discharge, 3 months and 6 months after implant): Impedance value in any LV lead vector must be in the normal range of 200-2000Ω. |
| The Number of Participants in Each NYHA Functional Class | 6 months | This secondary objective is to count the number of participants in each NYHA functional class at 6 months; NYHA classification is determined by a physician and measures the severity of a patient's heart failure by evaluating heart failure symptoms and limitations. Class I patients have mild heart failure symptoms, while patients with Class IV have severe symptoms. |
