Screening for Advanced Heart Failure Treatment (SEE-HF) (SEE-HF)

June 23, 2022 updated by: Abbott Medical Devices
Advanced heart failure therapy (heart transplantation or LVAD) is underutilized and patients are underserved. The purpose of this prospective, observational study is to obtain multi-center data on the proportion of patients with CRT and/or ICD who are candidates for advanced heart failure treatment and obtain insights into patient and physician decisions regarding referral for advanced heart failure therapy.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of patients
Time Frame: 12 months
Proportion of heart failure patients followed in outpatient clinic that are NYHA III-IV with LVEF </= 40% and a CRT and/or ICD who have an indication without contraindication for heart transplantationi and/or DT LVAD.
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Reasons for non-referral
Time Frame: 12 months
Assess physician's reasons for non-referral of patients for LVAD/transplant evaluation.
12 months
Patient's reasons
Time Frame: 12 months
Assess patients reasons for declining LVAD/transplant as a treatment option.
12 months
Actual and predicted 12 month survival
Time Frame: 12 months
Assess the actual and predicted 12 month survival (predicted by VO2, the Heart Failure Survival Score (HFSS) and the Seattle Heart Failure Model (SHFM)).
12 months
Simple clinical parameters for referral
Time Frame: 12 months
Identify simple clinical parameters that can be used by physicians to refer patients for LVAD/transplant evaluation at an optimal time.
12 months

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
October 1, 2012

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
