About this study

Official title: Importance of Left Ventricular Pacing Site in Biventricular Resynchronization Therapy for Severe Heart Failure

Cardiac resynchronization therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms and mortality in heart failure patients. However, very few is known about the importance of the left ventricular pacing site. We study in a random order 11 different left ventricular pacing sites and compare their hemodynamics using pressure-volume catheters. The consequences on the surface ECG are also assessed.

Read the detailed description

Background. Cardiac resynchronization therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms and mortality in heart failure patients. However, very few is known about the importance of the left ventricular pacing site.

Design. Single-blind, monocentric, randomized cross-over study comparing 11 left ventricular pacing sites in a random order.

Intervention. Left ventricular DDD pacing on 11 ventricular sites, prior to the implantation. At each pacing site, a control hemodynamics will be obtained in AAI pacing at the same pacing rate. At each pacing site, 2 AV delays, a short and a long one, will be assessed.

Eligibility criteria. Patients referred for cardiac resynchronization therapy for heart failure

Outcomes. Hemodynamic measures using pressure-volume catheters.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Variation in left ventricular dp/dt max

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. pressures and volumes of the left ventricle

  2. stroke work

  3. surface ECG repolarisation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing left ventricular pacing in people with Heart Failure and Cardiomyopathy, Dilated, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jun 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Pierre Jaïs, Dr (33 (0) 5 57 65 64 71, pierre.jais@chu-bordeaux.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Variation in left ventricular dp/dt max. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jun 2007.
