OptiVol for Precision Medical Management of Heart Failure

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Ischemic and Non-ischemic Cardiomyopathy
Interventions
Device: Medtronic ICD with Opti Vol-Monitor
Registration Number
NCT04206501
Lead Sponsor
University of Rochester
Brief Summary

This clinical study is designed to show that a multidisciplinary team following a pre-specified standard of care medication decision model based on data from an implanted cardioverter device will increase the rate of change in Guideline Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT) in the intervention group compared to the conventional group in patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies.

Detailed Description

Subjects in this study will be randomized (2:1) to an intervention group whose medical care will be guided by data from a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) including information on heart rate, activity, and fluid status derived from the OptiVol monitor versus a conventional management control group. Subjects will followed for 12 months with follow up contact for 6 consecutive months and a chart review at 12 months. The study population will include patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy who have had an ICD implanted per standard of care guidelines.

ICM guided Medical Management GroupMedtronic ICD with Opti Vol-MonitorA pre-specified management regimen based on standard clinical practice will be provided to the study team in which medical management including medication dosing (focusing on beta-blockers and diuretics) will be monitored and modified using Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED) and OptiVol Monitor data. Based on CIED and patient engagement data, the study team will adjust medications and dosages, and optimize activity/exercise steps.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The primary outcome of this study is the rate of change in medical management with beta-blockers, diuretics and sacubitril/Valsartan (defined as initiation, termination, switch, or dosing adjustment) in the intervention group compared to usual care6 Months
