Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The primary objective of this study is to assess clinical feasibility and accuracy of HCP measurements in CRT patients during different pacing settings. We will evaluate the accuracy of LV volumetric measurements by comparing volume-time curves obtained using HCP with the conductance catheter (gold standard) measurements.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1.Evaluate derivatives of volume-time curves (i.e. stroke volume, max volume, min volume, 1/3 FFR) and compare these derivatives between different pacing settings and between the HCP volume-time curve and conductance catheter volume-time curve.<br>2.Assessment of pressure data during different pacing settings and comparison between the invasive pressure measurements (conductance catheter) and the non-invasive pressure measurements (Nexfin).<br>3.Reconstruction of pressure-volume (PV) loops with Nexfin and HCP data and compare these PV- loops with PV-loops obtained using the conductance catheter.
