Show all 21Show fewer
  • Surgical correction of congenital heart disease involving atrial septum that will prevent safe implantation of the SJM HeartPOD ISL.
  • Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA) or Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA's) within the last 6 months. History of uncorrected cerebral vascular disease.
  • Atrial or ventricular thrombus, tumor or systemic thromboembolism.
  • Atrial septal defect or clinically significant patent foramen ovale.
  • Life expectancy less than one year from malignancy, primary pulmonary hypertension, renal, hepatic, or neurological condition, etc.
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding during the last 6 months.
  • Coagulopathy or uninterruptible anticoagulation therapy or unable to take antiplatelet medications.
  • Creatinine > 2.4 gm/dl (212 µmol/L) at enrollment.
  • Active systemic infection.
  • The subject is currently participating in an investigational drug or another device study that has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the current study endpoints.
  • Have a contraindication for an emergency thoracotomy
  • Have a hypersensitivity to a single 1.0mg dose of dexamethasone sodium phosphate or short term contact with heparin.
  • Positive pregnancy test at enrollment or planning a pregnancy in the next 12 months.
  • Patient is pacemaker dependent, where cessation of pacemaker function consistently results in syncope or ventricular asystole.
  • Incompatible previously implanted intracardiac devices.

About this study

Official title: CRT-D Based Heart Failure Monitoring Study

The purpose of this study is to collect and analyze electrical measurements, timing, and signals from a CRT-D device in heart failure patients who either already have an implanted left atrial pressure sensor or will undergo a simultaneous implantation of a left atrial pressure sensor and a CRT-D device. These devices may be placed at the same time or separately (staged procedure) at the discretion of the investigator. A comparison will be made between the information gathered from the CRT-D system and the information gathered by the left atrial pressure sensor.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Cardiac Resynchronization TherapyDevice

    Also called CRT-D

    Pacing of the left ventricle to resynchronize ventricular contraction.

  • HeartPOD™ SystemDevice

    Left atrial pressure monitoring.

Study groups in NCT00632372
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HeartPOD™ System with Cardiac Resynchronization TherapyAll patients will receive both a HeartPod device and a CRT-D device.
Receives: Device: Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy; Device: HeartPOD™ System

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine which heart failure monitoring feature acquired by the CRT device correlates most closely with simultaneously measured left ventricular filling pressure, as measured by left atrial pressure.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by Abbott Medical Devices at 10 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 21 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, New Zealand. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine which heart failure monitoring feature acquired by the CRT device correlates most closely with simultaneously measured left ventricular filling pressure, as measured by left atrial pressure. (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00632372, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Oct 2020.
