Effectiveness of Closed Loop Stimulation (CLS) With His Bundle Lead Placement

November 14, 2019 updated by: NYU Langone Health
This study is a prospective, non-randomized pilot study looking to evaluate the effectiveness of Closed Loop Stimulation (CLS) in sinus node dysfunction patients with HIS bundle placement. Patients with sinus node dysfunction who have previously received a Biotronik pacemaker with His bundle lead placement as part of routine care will be recruited for the study. A hand-grip exercise will be performed at the conclusion of bicycle exercise testing in order to assess the performance of CLS during isometric exercise. After the study exercise testing is completed, data will be collected from the pacemaker.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Closed Loop Stimulation (CLS)
Prior to enrollment, the patient would have received Biotronik pacemaker with His bundle lead placement for at least 30 days and CLS will be programmed ON for at least 7 days as part of routine care.

Exercise testing will be scheduled on the same day as the enrollment visit and within 30 days after post-implant visit.

The standard protocol will be typically set at an initial workload of 15Watts and go up by increments of 10 Watts every 3 minutes, as follows:

Stage 1 - 15 W Stage 2 - 25 W Stage 3 - 35 W Stage 4 - 45 W

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in heart rate from baseline to Day 30
Time Frame: Day 1, Day 30
Ability to achieve adequate heart rate, defined as reaching upper sensor rate, during peak exertion
Day 1, Day 30

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Greater heart response with CLS compared to predicted accelerometer based heart rate response
Time Frame: Day 1, Day 30
CLS rate response will be analyzed individually for each subject by comparing the CLS response, which is collected by the CLS Action Log, to heart rate information.
Day 1, Day 30
