简要总结
CRT is delivered from two electrodes on opposite sides of the heart [right (RV) and left ventricle (LV)] delivering stimulation for more efficient heart beats. There is flexibility in the sequence and temporal staggering of the stimulation from these two electrodes with a different optimum for different patients. However, standard techniques to figure out the optimal stimulation strategy like standard 12-lead surface electrical recording (ECG) or routine ultrasound have failed. The investigators have developed ECG imaging (ECGI) with 250 electrode surface recording combined with CT scan to reconstruct high resolution 4-dimensional panoramic electrical maps of the heart. The study seeks to enroll 56 patients undergoing CRT in a clinical trail to evaluate short and long term impact of using ECGI for optimal programming of CRT.
详细描述
Heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction is a major global health problem. Every year, over 200,000 patients with HF and electrical abnormalities receive device implants for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT). However, one-third of these patients receiving CRT fail to clinically improve, a large population with refractory HF symptoms, high mortality, and tremendous healthcare costs. The overall objective of the study is to improve the clinical response to CRT by physiological optimization of CRT programming with individualized ventriculo-ventricular (VV) offset, guided by novel 4-dimensional panoramic electroanatomical heart mapping using Electrocardiographic Imaging (ECGI). ECGI is a high-resolution, non-invasive, validated technique using 250 recording electrodes combined with heart-torso anatomy from chest CT.
Specific Aims:
- Assess the acute impact of ECGI-guided CRT optimization on hemodynamic heart function.
- Determine the impact of ECGI-guided CRT optimization on reverse heart remodeling at 6 months.
Methods:
The study will enroll 56 adult patients undergoing CRT for standard clinical indications.

结局指标
主要结局
LV reverse remodeling
时间窗: 6 months
Echocardiographically evaluated % reduction in LV end-systolic volume (LVESV) from baseline is the primary outcome measure. A reduction in the LVESV is a validated surrogate marker of improved HF outcomes including reduced hospitalizations and increased survival.
