Conditions
Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia

Device: AtriCure ISOLATOR Synergy Surgical Ablation System
Registration Number
NCT05280093
Lead Sponsor
AtriCure, Inc.
Brief Summary

Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia (IST) is a prevalent and debilitating condition in otherwise healthy younger patients, resulting in significant loss of quality of life, lacking effective treatment options or systematic clinical evidence to support a therapy. The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a hybrid sinus node sparing ablation procedure for the treatment of symptomatic drug refractory or drug intolerant IST.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary Effectiveness Endpoint12-months Post Procedure

Freedom from IST at 12-months. Freedom from IST is defined as mean heart rate of ≤ 90bpm or at least a 15% reduction in mean heart rate as compared to baseline, in the absence of new or higher dosage of previously failed medications.

Primary Safety Endpoint30-days Post Procedure

Incidence of device or procedure-related major adverse events (MAEs) for subjects undergoing the hybrid sinus node sparing ablation procedure from the index procedure through 30-days post procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Reduction in mean heart rate in the absence of rate control drugs24-months Post Procedure

Freedom from IST or at least 15% reduction in mean heart rate at 12- and 24-months compared to baseline, in the absence of rate control drugs (beta-blockers/calcium channel blockers, ivabradine) and/or AADs

Improved heart rate variability - 7-day monitor12-months Post Procedure

Improved heart rate variability for subjects using 7-day continuous monitoring

6-Minute Walk Test24-months Post Procedure

Change in 6-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT) from baseline compared to 6-, 12- and 24-months post-procedure

Self-Rating Anxiety Scale24-months Post Procedure

Change from baseline in psychological evaluation compared to 6-, 12- and 24-months post-procedure utilizing the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS)

Mean heart rate24-months Post Procedure

Change in mean heart rate at 6-, 12- and 24-months post-procedure compared to baseline, using 7-day continuous monitoring

Reduction in mean heart rate regardless of rate control drugs24-months Post Procedure

Freedom from IST or at least a 15% reduction in mean heart rate at 12- and 24-months compared to baseline, regardless of rate control drugs (beta-blockers/calcium channel blockers, ivabradine) and/or AADs

Health Economics24-months Post Procedure

Health Economics: ER visits and readmissions

QoL - SF-1224-months Post Procedure

Change in QoL based on a Short Form Survey (SF-12) domain and component scores at baseline compared to 6-, 12- and 24-months post-procedure

Device or procedure related Serious Adverse Events12-months Post Procedure

Device or procedure related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) through 12-months

Borg dyspnea score24-months Post Procedure

Change in Borg dyspnea severity of breathlessness and fatigue score from baseline compared to 6-, 12- and 24-months post-procedure. Borg dyspnea score will be assessed at each of the 6-MWT.

IST symptom reduction24-months Post Procedure

IST symptom reduction at baseline to 6-, 12- and 24-months post-procedure

Improved heart rate variability - Implantable loop recorder12-months Post Procedure

Improved heart rate variability and activity levels for subjects with implantable loop recorders (ILRs)
