Atrial Fibrillation Associated With Heart Failure Treated by BIOTRONIK's CRT-DX System

Terminated
Conditions
Heart Failure
Atrial Fibrillation
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Interventions
Device: CRT-DX
Registration Number
NCT04870281
Lead Sponsor
Biotronik, Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of the BIO-AffectDX Study is to prospectively evaluate improvement from baseline in heart failure subjects with atrial fibrillation (AF) implanted with a two-lead CRT-DX system, with emphasis on a comparison of patient outcomes between AF subtypes.

Detailed Description

There is a need for more evidence about the benefits of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) in a patient population with heart failure and atrial fibrillation. The BIO-AffectDX Study will gather information about adults with heart failure and atrial fibrillation who are treated with a CRT-DX device from many locations across the United States. The BIO-AffectDX Study will look at the results of treatment in participants with the primary goal to evaluate the improvement in overall health prior to device implant through 12 months. Overall health will be measured by your study doctor for AF improvement, physical fitness, and general quality of life.

  • Patient is currently planned for a pulmonary vein isolation catheter ablation procedure within 3 months of consent
  • Patient life expectancy is less than 1 year
  • Patient is expected to receive heart transplantation or ventricular assist device within 1 year after implant
  • Patient is expected to have a cardiac surgical procedure, such as coronary artery bypass graft or valve transcatheter replacement/repair or surgery, planned to occur within 6-months after implant (excludes atrioventricular node ablation procedures)
  • Patient is currently on dialysis, or is expected to receive dialysis within 1 year of implant
  • Patient is enrolled in any investigational cardiac device or drug trial that might significantly affect the studied outcomes
  • Any condition (e.g. severe arthritis, wheelchair bound, etc.) preventing the patient from performing the required six-minute walk test
  • Conditions that prohibit placement of any of the system leads
  • Patient reports pregnancy at the time of consent
