About this study

Official title: Use of the R-wave to Optimise VV Delay in Heart Failure Patients Treated With Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy

The aim of this study is to investigate whether the use of a simple feature on the 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) to optimise pacemaker device programming can have clinically relevant benefit to patient management. More specifically it is to investigate whether using the R-wave in V1 of the surface ECG to guide the timings between left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) pacing improves response to Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy.

Being tested
Optimisation of V-V timing using R wave on surface ECG, Standard V-V timing settings
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Optimisation of V-V timing using R wave on surface ECG and Standard V-V timing settings in people with Heart Failure, Systolic, run by The Royal Bournemouth Hospital at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 20 inclusion and 0 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 28 Apr 2017. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Quality of Life Score (time frame: 3 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 28 Apr 2017.
