Registration Number
NCT05555966
Lead Sponsor
Chinese University of Hong Kong
Brief Summary

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established therapy for symptomatic heart failure patients. However, there are still 30 to 40% of studied patients being nonresponder to CRT. The plausible reasons of lack of effect of CRT in these patients include relative less baseline electrical dyssynchrony. The aim of our study is to investigate whether there is an optimal configuration of CRT delivery that varies between patients with different pattern of activation delay.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Left Ventricle (LV) end systolic volume reduction6 months

The responder rate of greater than 10% of LV end systolic volume reduction measured by echocardiogram

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Echocardiogram parameter: left ventricular systolic and diastolic volume6 months

left ventricular systolic and diastolic volume at baseline, 3 months and 6 months : , left ventricular ejection fraction, degree of mitral regurgitation, strain imaging will be aggregated to arrive at an overall change in echocardiogram parameters as together they represent integrated heart function collectively, as reflected by the listed echocardiogram parameters.

Hemodynamic response monitoringDuring procedure

monitor the difference in hemodynamic responses of different methods of CRT delivery method. The hemodynamic response will be maximal dp/dt as measured by pressure wire introduced into the left ventricle during the procedure.

Cine images and chest X ray6 months

Cine images (PA, LAO 300, RAO 300) and Chest X ray (PA view) of patients will be obtained for evaluation of changes in disease

Multi-dimensional Quality of life changes6 months

change in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, 6 minute hall walk test, HF Patient Global Assessment Questionnaire and quality of life using Minnesota's living with heart failure (MLWHF) questionnaire at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.

Electrical dyssynchrony indexDuring procedure

The acute electrical dyssynchrony indices (the standard deviation of activation times throughout the epicardium) of different methods of CRT delivery. Lower indicate larger improvement.

Procedure outcome with optimal CRT deliveryDuring procedure

Procedure outcome measured by procedure duration and implantation success rate of the optimal CRT delivery method as determined by the best improvement in electrical dyssynchrony indices.

Device set-up parameter :defibrillation sensitivity6 months

Device set-up parameter :defibrillation sensitivity at implant and 6 months follow-up

Change in 6 minute hall walk test6 months

Change in 6 minute hall walk test result, at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.

Implantation success rate with optimal CRT deliveryDuring procedure

Implantation success rate of the optimal CRT delivery method as determined by the best improvement in electrical dyssynchrony indices.

Post-operation Complication rate6 months

Peri-operative and 6 months follow-up complications rate:

1. Thromboembolic event

2. Dislodgement and migration of pacing leads

3. Phrenic nerve stimulation

4. Others

Echocardiogram parameter: strain imaging6 months

Echocardiogram parameter: strain imaging at baseline, 3 months and 6 months

Change in HF Patient Global Assessment Questionnaire6 months
