研究概览

简要总结

The purpose of this clinical research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the investigational implantable hemodynamic monitor (IHM), and of the IHM in combination with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). The investigational IHM has the ability to record and report the force with which the heart pumps blood (heart pressures). When combined with the ICD, the device has the additional ability to send a strong electrical impulse, or shock, to the heart when it detects dangerously fast heartbeats to return it to a normal rhythm. The IHM and IHM/ICD are implanted surgically just under the skin in the upper chest area. This study will also determine how doctors use the information related to heart pressures in the management of heart failure.

入选标准

  • Subjects with heart failure that only sometimes interferes with daily activities (New York Heart Association [NYHA] Class II (1)) or subjects with heart failure which severely limits daily activities (NYHA Class III (2)) at baseline
  • Subject has appropriate medical therapy for heart failure (such as diuretic, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and beta blocker) for at least three months prior to the baseline evaluation.
  • Subject has been on stable medications maximized to the subject's tolerance of ACE or ARB and beta blockers as determined by the study investigator for at least 30 days prior to baseline evaluation. (Stable is defined as no more than a 100% increase or a 50% decrease in dose.) If a subject is intolerant of ACE, ARB or beta blockers documented evidence must be available.
  • Subject has had at least one heart failure-related hospitalization or at least one heart failure-related emergency department or urgent care visit necessitating heart failure-related intravenous therapy (e.g. diuretic administration) within 12 months prior to the baseline evaluation
  • To be considered for Chronicle ICD: Subject has, or is at risk of having, a heart beat that is too fast and his/her doctor has determined he/she needs an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
  • Class II Subjects with cardiac disease resulting in slight limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea, or angina.
  • Class III Subjects with cardiac disease resulting in marked limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea, or angina.

排除标准

  • Subjects with severe heart failure who should always be resting (NYHA Class IV(3)) or Stage D(4) refractory heart failure.
  • Subjects with severe renal dysfunction.
  • Subjects with severe non-cardiac condition limiting 12-month survival.
  • Subjects in concurrent studies that may confound the results.
  • (3)Class IV Subjects with cardiac disease resulting in inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of heart failure or the anginal syndrome may be present even at rest. If any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort is increased.
  • (4)Stage D refractory heart failure: Patients who have marked symptoms at rest despite maximal medical therapy (e.g., those who are recurrently hospitalized or cannot be safely discharged from the hospital without specialized interventions)

结局指标

主要结局

Percent of Subjects With an Attempted Chronicle IHM Implant Free From Chronicle IHM System-related Complications at 6-months Post-implant

时间窗: 6 months post implant

A Chronicle IHM system-related complication was defined as any system-related adverse event that occurred during the clinical investigation which is (1) treated with invasive means (including intravenous drug therapy), (2) results in death or serious injury of subject, (3) results in the explant of any Chronicle IHM component,and/or (4) causes permanent loss of significant function of the implanted system.

Relative Risk Reduction of All Heart Failure Related Events in the Treatment Group Compared to the Control Group

时间窗: 12 months post-implant

The rate of HF-related events (hospitalizations \>24h, hospitalizations \<24h with IV therapy, ED visits with IV therapy, and urgent clinic visits with IV therapy) during the 12-month randomized follow-up period was compared between the Chronicle and Control groups.

Percent of Subjects With an Attempted Implant of the Chronicle ICD System Free From System-related Chronicle ICD Complications at 6-months Post-implant.

时间窗: Within 6 months post-implant

A Chronicle ICD system-related complication was defined as any system-related adverse event that occurred during the clinical investigation which is (1) treated with invasive means (including intravenous drug therapy), (2) results in death or serious injury of subject, (3) results in the explant of any Chronicle ICD component,and/or (4) causes permanent loss of significant function of the implanted system.
