简要总结
This clinical study is a prospective, observational submodule of the BIO|STREAM.CSP registry designed to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients receiving BIOTRONIK dual-chamber pacemakers that combine conduction system pacing-specifically left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP)-with Closed Loop Stimulation (CLS). The purpose of the study is to better understand how this combined pacing strategy performs in routine clinical practice and whether it may help reduce the occurrence of atrial fibrillation in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND) and concomitant atrioventricular (AV) conduction disorders.
The primary question the study seeks to answer is what the incidence of device-detected atrial fibrillation (DDAF) is over a 24-month follow-up period in patients treated with LBBAP and active CLS. Additionally, the study explores how CLS dynamically modulates pacing rates when the ventricular lead is positioned within the conduction system, and whether this physiological pacing approach may mitigate the negative effects associated with conventional right ventricular pacing.
Overall, this study aims to generate real-world evidence to support optimization of pacemaker programming and to inform clinical decision-making regarding the use of CLS in combination with conduction system pacing, with the goal of improving patient outcomes and reducing atrial arrhythmia burden.
详细描述
This study, BIO|STREAM.CSP CLS, is a prospective, observational submodule of the ongoing BIO|STREAM.CSP registry. It is designed to collect real-world clinical data from patients who receive BIOTRONIK dual-chamber pacemakers using conduction system pacing (CSP), with a specific focus on the combination of left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) and Closed Loop Stimulation (CLS).
Permanent cardiac pacing is a standard therapy for patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND), a condition in which the heart's natural pacemaker does not function properly. A considerable proportion of these patients also have atrioventricular (AV) conduction disorders, which impair the electrical connection between the atria and ventricles. In such cases, dual-chamber pacemakers are typically implanted to maintain appropriate heart rhythm and coordination.
Traditional right ventricular (RV) pacing, while effective in maintaining heart rate, has been associated with non-physiological activation of the heart and may contribute to an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), especially when pacing burden is high. Device-detected atrial fibrillation (DDAF) is a clinically relevant outcome, as it is associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular complications.
Closed Loop Stimulation (CLS) is an advanced pacemaker feature designed to provide more physiological heart rate adaptation by continuously monitoring cardiac contractility and adjusting the pacing rate accordingly. In previous studies, including the B3 trial, CLS demonstrated a reduction in DDAF incidence in patients with SND. However, this benefit was not observed in patients with AV block, likely due to the adverse effects of frequent RV pacing.
Conduction system pacing, and in particular left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), is an emerging pacing strategy that stimulates the heart's intrinsic conduction pathways, resulting in a more physiological and synchronized ventricular activation. This approach has the potential to reduce the negative effects associated with RV pacing.
