Cutaneous Heart Sounds Data Collection During Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Optimization Study

The Cutaneous Heart Sounds Data Collection During CRT Optimization study is an acute, prospective, non-randomized multi-center feasibility clinical trial. The purpose of this clinical trial is to collect data to assist in the testing and finalization of a hemodynamic sensor-based cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) optimization scheme.

Inclusion criteria

  • Subject must have been implanted with a Medtronic market approved CRT-D device (Concerto®, Concerto® II, Maximo® II, Consulta®, Protecta™, or Protecta™ XT) within two years
  • Subject must be 18 years of age or older
  • Subject or his/her legally authorized representative has signed and dated the study specific informed consent form ("Consent Form")
  • Subject is willing and able to comply with protocol requirements

Exclusion criteria

  • Subject with atrial tachyarrhythmia or frequent atrial or ventricular ectopy
  • Subject is post mitral or aortic valve repair or replacement
  • Subject is participating in other research studies that many confound the results of this study
  • Subject is pregnant or in fertile age without secure birth control
  • Subject has dementia
  • Subject is unwilling to comply with protocol requirements
  • Subject has a device and lead system with fractured leads
  • Subject cannot undergo an echocardiograph procedure, or is contraindicated to undergo such a procedure

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Collection of simultaneous cardiac signals representing heart sounds and CRT-D electrogram (EGM) vectors.

    Time frame: A two hour office visit within two years of CRT-Defibrillator (D) and lead system implant

    The cardiac signals collected by the modified Virtuoso® ICD and implanted CRT-D EGM vectors will be used to determine how to improve and finalize a prototyped hemodynamic sensor-based CRT optimization scheme.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Comparison of modified Virtuoso® Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) heart sounds and CRT-D electrogram (EGM) vectors

    Time frame: A two hour office visit within two years of CRT-D and lead system implant

    The heart sounds vector data from the externally affixed modified Virtuoso® ICD will be compared to the EGM vectors from the implanted CRT-D device after CRT optimization.

  2. Determine if modified Virtuoso® ICD recorded heart sounds and CRT-D recorded EGM are able to detect phrenic nerve stimulation (PNS)

    Time frame: A two hour office visit within two years of CRT-D and lead system implant
