Registration Number
NCT05555992
Lead Sponsor
Chinese University of Hong Kong
Brief Summary

Background Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is proven to improve survival and heart function of patient with certain electrical conduction abnormality and heart failure. However, in patient with certain electrical conduction abnormality, being nonresponder is observed in up to 40% in patient receiving CRT. Conventionally the surgical approach of CRT is to implant one pacing lead in the right heart and one in the left heart to resynchronize the contraction and the pacing lead in the left heart is usually placed in the posterior or lateral portion of the left heart. However, this single approach may not be optimal, especially for those patients with conduction abnormality known to have no response to CRT. Purpose of the clinical investigation. The purpose of the Electrical Activation Guided CRT for Nonresponders Study is to study the effectiveness of an addition of Hisbundle pacing approach to CRT nonresponder by direct His-bundle pacing to improve the responder rate of nonresponder of conventional CRT and a tailored made approach to CRT procedure by using a noninvasive globally mapping system studying the electrical conduction under different approaches to delivery CRT. The pacing approach that optimally corrects conduction abnormality will be determined before the actual addition of new lead procedure.

Conduct of the Investigation This study will include 18 patients already implanted with device delivering conventional CRT that known to have no response to the conventional CRT after 6 months of the CRT therapy from Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong. You will be followed in the device clinic as per usual care after your participation in the study is completed.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Left Ventricle 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
Hemodynamic response monitoringDuring procedure

Monitor the difference in hemodynamic responses of different methods of CRT delivery. 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

Echocardiogram parameters: left ventricular systolic and diastolic volume6 months

Echocardiogram parameters: left ventricular systolic and diastolic volume at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.

Device set-up parameter: defibrillation threshold6 months

Device parameters including defibrillation threshold at implant and 6 months follow-up.

Change in quality of life6 months

Change in quality of life assessed by Minnesota's living with heart failure (MLWHF) questionnaire at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.

Electrical desynchrony indexDuring procedure

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

Device set-up parameter: lead impedance6 months

Device parameters including lead impedance of pacing leads at implant and 6 months follow-up.

Procedure duration of different methods of CRT deliveryDuring procedure

Procedure duration of the optimal CRT delivery method as determined by the best improvement in electrical desynchrony indices.

Implantation success rate of different methods of CRT deliveryDuring procedure

Device parameters including defibrillation sensitivity at implant and 6 months follow-up.

Echocardiogram parameters: degree of mitral regurgitation6 months

Echocardiogram parameter: degree of mitral regurgitation at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.

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 parameters: left ventricular ejection fraction6 months
