About this study

Official title: Cutaneous Heart Sounds Data Collection During CRT Optimization Study

The Cutaneous Heart Sounds Data Collection During CRT Optimization study is an acute, prospective, non-randomized multi-center feasibility clinical trial. The purpose of this clinical trial is to collect data to assist in the testing and finalization of a hemodynamic sensor-based cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) optimization scheme.

What is being measured

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

  1. Collection of simultaneous cardiac signals representing heart sounds and CRT-D electrogram (EGM) vectors.

    The cardiac signals collected by the modified Virtuoso® ICD and implanted CRT-D EGM vectors will be used to determine how to improve and finalize a prototyped hemodynamic sensor-based CRT optimization scheme.

    Measured: A two hour office visit within two years of CRT-Defibrillator (D) and lead system implant

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Comparison of modified Virtuoso® Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) heart sounds and CRT-D electrogram (EGM) vectors

    The heart sounds vector data from the externally affixed modified Virtuoso® ICD will be compared to the EGM vectors from the implanted CRT-D device after CRT optimization.

    Measured: A two hour office visit within two years of CRT-D and lead system implant

  2. Determine if modified Virtuoso® ICD recorded heart sounds and CRT-D recorded EGM are able to detect phrenic nerve stimulation (PNS)

    Measured: A two hour office visit within two years of CRT-D and lead system implant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure at 5 sites in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 1 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. 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?

Collection of simultaneous cardiac signals representing heart sounds and CRT-D electrogram (EGM) vectors. (time frame: A two hour office visit within two years of CRT-Defibrillator (D) and lead system implant). 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 1 Jul 2013.
