About this study

The purpose of MultiSENSE study is to collect data about patient events during worsening heart failure, determine how sensor measurements vary during patient daily activities and during the development and recovery from events of worsening heart failure, develop algorithms capable of detecting the onset of worsening heart failure prior to the overt presentation of patient symptoms using reference measurements: thoracic impedance, heart sounds, physiologic responses to activities and respiration.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 18 or above, or of legal age to give informed consent specific to state and national law
  • Willing and capable of returning for all follow-up visits and emergency care at the investigational center as medically appropriate
  • Willing to participate in all testing associated with this clinical investigation at an approved clinical investigational center
  • Currently implanted with a COGNIS device (Model N119 or N120, P107, P108)

  • Receiving regularly scheduled intravenous (IV) inotropic therapy as part of their drug regimen
  • Have received heart or lung transplant
  • Receiving mechanical circulatory support
  • Patients who have been referred or admitted for Hospice care
  • A life expectancy of less than 12 months per physician discretion
  • Enrolled in any concurrent study without Boston Scientific written approval
  • Devices previously converted to the SRD-1 and withdrawn from the study
  • Received a sub-pectoral COGNIS implant prior to February 1, 2011 with a dash number listed in Appendix K of the study protocol

  • LV offset is programmed to a value greater than zero

Treatment and study plan

COGNIS CRT-D

Device

Patients with existing or newly implanted COGNIS® CRT-D pulse generators (PG)are enrolled in the study. PG is modified by the download of investigational software called Sensor Research Device-1™ (SRD-1). The goal of the SRD-1 system is to collect sensor data without affecting the delivered CRT-D therapy. This is accomplished through the "conversion" of an implanted COGNIS PG into a SRD-1 PG by downloading investigational software. Only a market approved COGNIS model N119/N120/P107/P108 device may be converted to a SRD-1 investigational device. There will be no PG hardware changes resulting from the conversion.

Primary outcomes

  1. Heart Failure (HF) events

    Time frame: 12 Months

    The primary objectives of this study are to determine how ambulatory sensor measurements change with worsening heart failure, and to develop multisensor detection algorithms. Additional data will be collected to compare sensor measurements against reference measurements when the subject is hospitalized for HF. Data from this study may also be used for determining prospective endpoints and sample sizes for future studies. There are no formal statistical primary or secondary endpoints defined for this study. Therefore, no formal tests of hypothesis will be conducted.
