BAROSTIM THERAPY™ In Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Recruiting
Conditions
Heart Failure
Registration Number
NCT02876042
Lead Sponsor
CVRx, Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this registry (NCT02876042) is to evaluate the effect of BAROSTIM THERAPY with the BAROSTIM NEO system in the commercial setting in subjects recently implanted under the CE-Marked indication for resistant hypertension that also have evidence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Detailed Description

Summary:

The CVRx BAROSTIM THERAPY in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) Registry will be performed with subjects who have been recently implanted with the BAROSTIM NEO System in accordance with CE-Mark approved criteria for resistant hypertension and have evidence of HFpEF per the registry enrollment criteria. Subjects must be enrolled within 30 days from implant but prior to therapy activation. Up to 70 subjects will be enrolled at up to 10 sites. Data should be obtained from standard of care measurements taken prior to implant, at enrollment/baseline, and at 3 and 6 months after the device was implanted, at which time each subject will be exited from the registry.

Eligibility Criteria:

The CE-Mark approved indications and contraindications for the BAROSTIM NEO system in the treatment of resistant hypertension include:

* Indications

* Systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mmHg, and

* Resistance to maximally tolerated therapy with a diuretic and two other anti-hypertension medications

* Contraindications

* Bilateral carotid bifurcations located above the level of the mandible

* Baroreflex failure or autonomic neuropathy

* Uncontrolled, symptomatic cardiac bradyarrhythmias

* Carotid atherosclerosis that is determined by ultrasound or angiographic evaluation to be greater than 50%

* Ulcerative plaques in the carotid artery as determined by ultrasound or angiographic evaluation

Exclusion Criteria
  • Heart failure secondary to a reversible or treatable condition such as, cardiac structural valvular disease, acute myocarditis and pericardial constriction.
  • Heart failure secondary to right ventricular failure or right ventricular myocardial infarction.

Study & Design

Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL

Not specified
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in Office Cuff Systolic Blood PressurePre-implant baseline to 6 months post-implant

Office cuff blood pressure measurement to be obtained from a time point prior to implant and as close to the implant procedure as possible (baseline), and at 3 and 6 months post-implant.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in NT-proBNPPre-implant baseline, 6 months post-implant

If available, measurement should be obtained from a time point prior to implant and as close to the implant procedure as possible (baseline), and at 3 and 6 months post-implant.

Change in New York Heart Association Functional ClassificationPre-implant baseline to 6 months post-implant

New York Heart Association Classification, if available, should be obtained from a time point prior to implant and as close to the implant procedure as possible (baseline), and at 3 and 6 months post-implant.

Changes in Left Ventricular Mass IndexPre-implant baseline to 6 months post-implant

An echocardiogram obtained prior to implant, and as close to the implant procedure as possible, will be utilized for the baseline measurement. An additional echocardiogram will be obtained at 3 and 6 months post-implant.

Evaluate health care utilization over follow-up, such as heart failure hospitalizationsPre-implant baseline to 6 months post-implant

Health care utilization information is collected throughout follow-up.

Changes in LA volume indexPre-implant baseline to 6 months post-implant

An echocardiogram obtained prior to implant, and as close to the implant procedure as possible, will be utilized for the baseline measurement. An additional echocardiogram will be obtained at 3 and 6 months post-implant.

Changes in E/E' ratioPre-implant baseline to 6 months post-implant

An echocardiogram obtained prior to implant, and as close to the implant procedure as possible, will be utilized for the baseline measurement. An additional echocardiogram will be obtained at 3 and 6 months post-implant.
