Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Subject is indicated for a cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemaker or defibrillator (CRT-P/CRT-D) implant, for an upgrading from a previously implanted single/dual chamber pacemaker/implantable cardioverter (ICD) or for system revision requiring repositioning of the transvenous left ventricular (LV) lead
  • Patient has signed and dated the study-specific Patient Informed Consent form
  • Subject is at least 18 years of age

Exclusion criteria

  • Patient has a previous LV lead implanted not requiring repositioning
  • Pregnant woman
  • Patient is enrolled or planning to participate in any concurrent study, which would confound the results of this trial as determined by Medtronic, during the course of this clinical study
