Monitoring of Hemodynamics in Heart Failure Patients by Intracardiac Impedance Measurement (BIODetectHFII)

July 14, 2015 updated by: Biotronik SE & Co. KG
Heart Failure (HF) is one of the most frequent diagnoses upon hospitalization and is a major cause of death. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) using an implantable device for synchronous bi-ventricular stimulation leads to improvement of hemodynamic parameters, physical capacity and quality of life. A continuous measurement of the left-ventricular volume would provide information about heart performance and could be used for both heart failure monitoring and optimization of CRT-therapy.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics.

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.

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
Intra-indivudual correlation coefficient r between stroke volume (SV) and stroke impedance (SZ).
Time Frame: Month 2
SV will be assessed using Echo Doppler Ao-VTI (Aortic velocity time integral). SZ will be measured in parallel using intracardiac impedance measurement. The parameters will be assessed during a sequential measurement being conducted in month 2 of the observational period. Hemodynamic changes will be actively provoked using the CRT-D system for overdrive-pacing.
Month 2

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
Intra-individual correlation coefficient r between left-ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) and left-ventricular end-systolic impedance (LVESZ).
Time Frame: Month 2
LVESV will be assessed using echo Biplane Simpson's method. LVESZ will be measured using the intracardiac impedance measurement. The parameters will be assessed during a sequential measurement being conducted in month 2 of the observational period. Hemodynamic changes will be actively provoked using the CRT-D system for overdrive-pacing.
Month 2

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Intra-individual correlation coefficient r between stroke volume (SV) and stroke impedance (SZ).
Time Frame: Month 2
SV will be assessed using a non-invasive blood pressure measurement device. SZ will be measured using the intracardiac impedance measurement.The parameters will be assessed during a sequential measurement being conducted in month 2 of the observational period. Hemodynamic changes will be actively provoked using the CRT-D system for overdrive-pacing.
