MRI Assessment of Patient Suitability for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)

The goals of this project are to: 1) explore the potential use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data for improved prediction of response to cardiac resynchronization (CRT), and 2) use the MRI-derived data together with a computer model of the cardiovascular system to study the relative roles of different factors in the mechanical effects of dyssynchrony in failure, and in the response (or lack thereof) to CRT.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male and female patients ages 18 and over scheduled by conventional criteria (symptomatic impairment of cardiac function with broadened QRS) for clinical CRT procedures at NYULMC.
  • Normal kidney function as determined by GFR levels.

Inclusion criteria

for Controls

  • Normal kidney function as determined by GFR levels
  • No significant cardiovascular disease or risk factors.

Exclusion criteria

  • electrical implants such as cardiac pacemakers or perfusion pumps
  • ferromagnetic implants such as aneurysm clips, surgical clips, prostheses, artificial hearts, valves with steel parts, metal fragments, shrapnel, tattoos near the eye, or steel implants
  • ferromagnetic objects such as jewelry or metal clips in clothing (which will be removed)
  • pre-existing medical conditions including a likelihood of developing seizures or claustrophobic reactions, and any greater than normal potential for cardiac arrest.

Treatment and study plan

Cardiac MRI

Procedure

Primary outcomes

  1. Derivation of score of patient suitability for CRT

    Time frame: 4 Years

    Binary logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses will be used to assess the utility of baseline (pre-CRT) MRI-derived measures, alone and in combination, for the prediction of response to CRT.
