Withdrawal of Heart Failure Treatment Patients With Non-ischemic Cardiomyopathy Who Have Been Super-responders to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy. (DRUGLESS-CRT)
Withdrawal of Heart Failure Treatment in Patients With Non-ischemic Cardiomyopathy, Without Late Gadolinium Enhancement and With a Negative Genetic Test, Who Have Been Super-responders to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.
Multicenter, prospective, non-inferiority, randomized, single-blind (primary endpoint evaluators blinded, patients not blinded) clinical trial.
We aim to evaluate if the withdrawal of heart failure treatment is safe in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, negative genetic test, no evidence of late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac MRI, who have been super-responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy and remain free of heart failure events for at least 6 months after device implantation.

Beskrivelse
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy
- LBBB already present at the time of first diagnosis of LV dysfunction
- Negative genetic test
- Cardiac MRI with no evidence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE at RV insertion points is acceptable)
- Carrier of a resynchronization device (ICD or pacemaker, with LV epicardial pacing form a cardiac vein or left bundle area pacing), pacing percentage >95% and paced QRS <140 ms
- Device indication: LVEF ≤35% and LBBB with QRS >150 ms
- LVEF ≥50% and normal indexed LV volumes on echocardiogram performed at least 6 months after CRT implantation
- No heart failure decompensations (no hospitalizations or urgent/day hospital visits) since CRT implantation
- No need for loop diuretic treatment
- NYHA class I or II
- NT-proBNP <450 ng/L (or <1000 ng/L in atrial fibrillation/flutter)
- On neurohormonal therapy with at least two drugs
Exclusion Criteria:
- Family history of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy with LVEF <50% in at least one first-degree relative
- Severe valvular heart disease
- History of sustained ventricular arrhythmia or treated by ICD
- Need to maintain beta-blocker therapy for other arrhythmias
- Hypertension not controlled with other medications
- CRT devices implanted as an upgrade from prior pacemaker or ICD, where prior pacing percentage was >20%
- Clinical indication other than heart failure to maintain any of the neurohormonal treatment drugs (class I recommendation in ESC or ACC/AHA guidelines)
