HeartLogic France Study: Heart Failure Patients Managed with the HeartLogic Algorithm

November 16, 2024 updated by: Poitiers University Hospital

Follow-up of Heart Failure Patients with an Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator Enabled with the HeartLogic Algorithm - HeartLogic France Study

Heart Failure (HF) is a chronic disease that leads to numerous rehospitalisations and affects more than one million people in France.

The main objective of this prospective multicentric French study is to describe the annual rate of unplanned hospitalisations for heart failure in a cohort of patients managed by a HeartLogic algorithm.

Patients will be included if they fulfill the following requirements 1/Patient implanted with a cardiac defibrillator with or without resynchronisation with the HeartLogic index (RESONATE family, Boston Scientific); 2/History of heart failure (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40 %; or at least one episode of clinical heart failure with elevated NT pro BNP≥450 ng/L).

If a HeartLogic index ≥16 is noticed, the investigator will contact the patient to assess the patient's clinical condition and possibly adjust the heart failure treatment.

Detailed Description

Heart Failure (HF) is a chronic disease that leads to numerous rehospitalisations and affects more than one million people in France.

The main objective of this prospective multicentric French study is to describe the annual rate of unplanned hospitalisations for heart failure in a cohort of patients managed by a HeartLogic algorithm.

310 patients will be included if they fulfill the following requirements 1/Patient implanted with a cardiac defibrillator with or without resynchronisation with the HeartLogic index (RESONATE family, Boston Scientific); 2/History of heart failure (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40 %; or at least one episode of clinical heart failure with elevated NT pro BNP≥450 ng/L).

The HeartLogic index will be monitored remotely on a weekly basis for 12 months and in case of HeartLogic index ≥16, the local investigator will contact the patient for assessment and adjust HF treatment as necessary. The primary endpoint is unscheduled hospitalization for HF. A blind and independent committee will adjudicate the events. Blood samples will be collected for biobanking, and quality of life will be assessed.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
HeartLogic cohort
Patients implanted with a defibrillator enabling HeartLogic
In case of HeartLogic index ≥16, the investigator will contact the patient to assess the patient's clinical condition and possibly adjust the heart failure treatment. The management will be standardized across centers according to the Manage-HF protocol.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Hospitalisation for heart failure
Time Frame: During 12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patient quality of life using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire
Time Frame: At baseline and 1 year
Scale title : KCCQ; Score between 0 and 100; higher scores reflect better health status
At baseline and 1 year
