Model 4296 Left Ventricular (LV) Lead Study

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Heart Failure
Registration Number
NCT00927251
Lead Sponsor
Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure
Brief Summary

This study is designed to show that a new lead, which paces the left bottom chamber (left ventricle) of the heart, is safe. Using a lead on the left side of the heart has been shown to potentially improve heart failure symptoms. The shape and size of this new lead may make it a good choice for patients or physicians.

Detailed Description

This study is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized design trial. All consented patients who meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria may receive the investigational lead. The study design has statistical power to show safety at one-month after implant.
