Descrição detalhada
The objectives of this study are to assess the impact of right vagal nerve stimulation on left ventricular remodeling, functional capacity, quality of life, and other measures in heart failure patients over a 6-month period. In addition, the study will assess the safety of the NECTAR-HF study system over an 18-month period.

Experimental: Therapy
Implant of investigational device system for vagus nerve stimulation. Patients were randomized in a 2 : 1 ratio to receive therapy (VNS ON) or control (VNS OFF) for a 6-month period. The experimental arm was receiving vagus nerve stimulation during the first 6 months after implant. Titration during the randomization phase with delivery of highest tolerable by patient stimulation current. Blood Draw before implant and 6 months after implant. Titration after the randomization phase with adjustments of the chronically highest tolearble by patient current. |
Vagus nerve stimulation lead was wrapped around the right cervical vagus nerve and then connected to a stimulator permanently implanted in the right pectoral region. Amplitude of the chronically delivered vagus nerve stimulation in the experimental arm was adjusted to the highest tolerable by patient value. No chronically delivered vagus nerve stimulation in the control arm during the randomization phase. Amplitude of the chronically delivered vagus nerve stimulation was adjusted to the highest tolerable by patient value in all patients in both arms of the study. Blood draw before implant and 6 months after implant at the end of the randomization phase. |
|
Comparador Falso: Control
Implant of investigational device system for vagus nerve stimulation. Control group was implanted with study system like the experimental arm, but was not receiving experimental vagus nerve stimulation therapy during the first 6 months after implant. 6-month after implant a cross-over took place and the control arm also started to receive experimental vagus nerve stimulation. Blood Draw before implant and 6 months after implant. Titration after the randomization phase with adjustments of the chronically highest tolearble by patient current. |

Change in Left Ventricular End-systolic Dimension (LVESD)
Prazo: LVESD at Baseline and at 6-months post Baseline
|
Change in the Left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD) between Baseline and the value at the end of the randomization phase (6 months after Baseline) i.e. 6 months after vagus nerve stimulation in the THERAPY Arm. No Vagus nerve stimulation during that time window in the CONTROL Arm. The sign (- ) indicates a reduction in the LVESD. Minus means a reduction in LVESD. The change was calculated from two time points as the value at the later time point minus the value at the earlier time point (e.g., value at 6 months minus value at baseline). |

Percentage of Surviving Participants
Prazo: 18-months
|
As pre-specified in the study protocol, the All-cause Survival endpoint combined both groups into one analysis population. Subjects contributed data according to the follow-up period during they received VNS therapy (Implant through 18 months for Therapy subjects, 6 through 18 months for Control subjects). Control patients who exited the study in the first 6 months, or who did not have a 6 month visit, were excluded. |
