Treatment and study plan

Coronary Sinus Reducer

Device

Subjects will have the Coronary Sinus Reducer implanted in their coronary sinus during a right heart catheterization procedure.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Pulmonary Arterial Wedge Pressure (PAWP) at exercise

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 months

    Pulmonary Arterial Wedge Pressure (mmHg) is a measure of cardiac filling pressure. PAWP will be determined by a right heart catheterization at 20W exercise.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy (KCCQ-12)

    Time frame: Baseline, 30 Days, 60 Days, 90 Days, 6 months

    KCCQ is a 12-item questionnaires that measure the participant's perception of their health status, including their heart failure (HF) symptoms, impact on physical and social function and how their HF impacts the quality of life. Scores were generated for each domain and scaled from 0 to 70, with 0 (worst) and 70 (the best possible status), where the higher score reflected better health status.

  2. Change in Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ)

    Time frame: Baseline, 30 Days, 60 Days, 90 Days, 6 months

    Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) is a 19-item questionnaire that assesses 5 different scales: physical limitation, anginal stability, anginal frequency, treatment satisfaction, and disease perception. A higher score indicates a worse health status.

  3. Change in New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 months

    New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification is used to classify patients into 4 categories based on their Heart Failure Symptoms. There are 4 classifications (1-4), a higher classification indicates a higher severity of Heart Failure symptoms.

  4. Change in Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS)

    Time frame: Baseline, 30 Days, 60 Days, 90 Days, 6 months

    Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) is a classification system (1-4) used to determine severity of angina pectoris. A higher classification indicates higher severity of angina pectoris.

  5. Change in Borg maximal perceived exertion scores

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 months

    Borg CR10 Scale is a scale that ranges from 0-12. It is used to determine maximal perceived exertion. This will be measured at exercise during a right heart catheterization.

  6. Change in maximum exercise capacity (VO2 max) during supine exercise testing

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 months

    Maximum exercise capacity (VO2 max) is the maximum oxygen absorbed during exercise. VO2 max will be determined at exercise during right heart catheterization and measured in ml/kg/min.

  7. Change in transcardiac lactate release

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 months

    Transcardiac lactate release will be determined by blood sample and measured in mmol/L.

  8. Change in transcardiac lactate uptake

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 months

    Transcardiac lactate uptake will be determined by blood sample and measured in mmol/L.

  9. Change in Pulmonary Arterial Wedge Pressure (PAWP) at rest

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 months

    Pulmonary Arterial Wedge Pressure (mmHg) is a measure of cardiac filling pressure. PAWP will be determined by a right heart catheterization at rest.

  10. Change in Pulmonary Arterial Pressure at rest

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 months

    Pulmonary Arterial Pressure is the measure of pressure that the heart uses to pump blood from the heart to the lungs. Pulmonary Arterial Pressure will be determined by a right heart catheterization at rest and measured in mmHg.

  11. Change in Pulmonary Arterial Pressure at exercise

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 months

    Pulmonary Arterial Pressure is the measure of pressure that the heart uses to pump blood from the heart to the lungs. Pulmonary Arterial Pressure will be determined by a right heart catheterization at exercise and measured in mmHg.

  12. Cardiac output

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 months

    Cardiac output (L/min) is the total volume of blood moved by the heart per minute. Cardiac output is measured during right heart catheterization at exercise using the Fick method.

  13. Change in Right Atrial Pressure

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 months

    Right Atrial Pressure is the blood pressure in the right atrium.
