Effects of CRT Optimization as Assessed by Cardiac MR
September 21, 2021 updated by: Alan J. Bank, MD, Allina Health System
Effects of CRT Optimization on LV Mechanical Synchrony, Structure, and Function in CRT Patients as Assessed by Cardiac MR
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), or atrial-synchronized biventricular (BiV) pacing, is an FDA-approved device therapy option for heart failure (HF) patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and electrical dyssynchrony.
A traditional CRT device has pacing leads implanted within the right atrium (RA), the right ventricle (RV), and within a coronary vein overlying the lateral or posterior left ventricle (LV).
Within the past decade, various multi-center randomized controlled trials have reported improved quality of life, aerobic exercise capacity, LV systolic function and structure, as well as decreased hospitalization rates and mortality among patients with HF.
Despite improvements in CRT technology with multipoint pacing, quadripolar leads, and adaptive pacing algorithms, approximately 30% of patients do not clinically benefit and are considered non-responders.
This study looks to optimize CRT device programming in patients considered non-responders to CRTusing information obtained from standard ECG machines, and to assess acute and chronic effects of CRT optimization using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).

Detailed Description
This is a prospective, randomized study designed to evaluate if CRT device optimization, guided by electrocardiography, improves cardiac function and clinical outcomes among patients considered non-responders to CRT.
All patients will have electrocardiographic assessment of electrical dyssynchrony at a range of device settings using standard ECG machines.
All patients will then have a baseline CMR study at baseline CRT programming, underlying rhythm, and optimal settings derived from the electrocardiographic assessment to assess acute effects of CRT optimization on mechanical synchrony, LV regional wall motion, and LV structure/ function.
To assess chronic effects of CRT optimization, patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio after baseline CMR to either the active comparator arm (baseline CRT programming), or the experimental arm (CRT device programmed to optimal settings derived from the electrocardiographic assessment).
Patients will be blinded to randomization.
After 6 month, all patients will return for follow up CMR study to assess chronic effects.
After follow up CMR imaging, the active comparator group will crossover to the experimental group.
After 12 months, all patients will return for follow up echocardiogram to further evaluate the chronic effects of CRT optimization.
