About this study

Official title: Advanced Bradycardia Device Feature Utilization and Clinical Outcomes

Pacemaker technology is constantly evolving. In the past 10 years, numerous advancements have been made in pacemaker therapy, diagnostics and connectivity. These advancements include automated capture, automated sensing, patient alert functions, algorithms minimizing ventricular pacing, automatic mode switching in response to atrial tachyarrhythmia, rate responsive pacing, advanced diagnostic features, remote monitoring and radiofrequency (RF) technology. However, little information is available on how these new features are being utilized by physicians in the real world and how these features impact patient outcomes.

This observational study will gather data on the patients' presenting clinical status, indication for device implantation, utilization of advanced device features, device therapy choices, clinical management and outcomes in a general pacemaker population.

The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the usage of advanced features and diagnostics in patients with St. Jude Medical pacemakers. The secondary aim of the study is to learn more about the progressive clinical outcomes in the general pacemaker patient population. The tertiary aim of the study is to evaluate the correlation between the usage of advanced features in pacemaker patients and the patient's clinical outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Evaluation of Device Features and Diagnostics

  • Programmed parameters: Advanced pacemaker features (Autocapture, Auto sensitivity control (ASC), Ventricular Intrinsic Preference (VIP®), Patient Notifier, RF telemetry, and newer advanced features)
  • Device and lead measurements
  • Number of AT/AF, VT/VF, PMT and AMS episodes

Evaluation of Clinical Parameters

  • Indication for device implantation
  • Cardiac and arrhythmia history
  • Cardiac drug utilization
  • Cardiac events: incidence and onset of symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), onset of heart failure (HF), incidence and onset of angina, occurrence of myocardial infarction (MI), occurrence of transient ischemic attack (TIA)/ischemic stroke, and occurrence of hemorrhagic stroke
  • Modified Specific Activity Scale (SAS)
  • Intrinsic QRS duration
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
  • Adverse events
  • All-cause, cardiovascular and heart failure hospitalizations
  • All-cause, cardiovascular and heart failure mortality

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pacemaker, run by Abbott Medical Devices.

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 5 inclusion and 1 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 14 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Oct 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Complication Rate at 1-year Post-implant (time frame: 12 months). 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 14 Oct 2020.
