Detailed Description

RESET is a multicenter trial that will assess the effect of pacing in heart failure patients with a normal ejection fraction (or diastolic heart failure). The purpose of the RESET study is to evaluate the effect of pacing on exercise capacity and quality of life in this heart failure population.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: RAP On then Off at 1 month visit
  1. Rate Adaptive Pacing (RAP) On for first cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) at one month.

Other Names:
  • Guidant or Boston Scientific implantable pacemakers
Experimental: RAP Off then On at 1 month visit
  1. Rate Adaptive Pacing (RAP) Off for first cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) at one month.
  2. Rate Adaptive Pacing (RAP) On for second cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) at one month.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Peak Volume of Oxygen Uptake (Peak VO2) - Rate Adaptive Pacing (RAP) On at One Month vs. Rate Adaptive Pacing (RAP) Off at One Month.
Time Frame: 1 month post implant
Randomized therapy order cross-over comparison at 1 month post-implant. Each patient evaluated for endpoint with and without RAP therapy at this time.
1 month post implant

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Peak Volume of Oxygen Uptake (Peak VO2) - Rate Adaptive Pacing (RAP) On at Six Months vs. Rate Adaptive Pacing (RAP) Off at One Month.
Time Frame: 6 months post implant
Each patient had RAP therapy On from one through six months. This endpoint evaluated Peak VO2 measured at 6 months (RAP On) vs. Peak VO2 measured at 1 month without RAP therapy (RAP Off).All participants were "RAP On" for months 1 through 6. All participants were 'Rap On' for months 6 to 12.
6 months post implant
