ECG for Programming in CRT (EPIC)

Study Description
Brief Summary:

Patients with heart failure and left bundle branch block benefit from Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) that delivers pacing from right ventricle (RV) and left ventricle (LV) synchronously, resulting in electrical ventricular resynchrony followed by revere structural cardiac remodeling and thereby reduced heart failure symptoms, hospitalizations and death. It is not known if programming an individually optimized RV-LV pacing offset to maximize electrical resynchrony can improve benefit from CRT.

The proposed study is a randomized controlled trial in patients undergoing implant of a CRT pacemaker/defibrillator device for clinical indications to evaluate benefit of RV-LV offset programming using electrocardiogram (ECG) vs. standard nominal CRT programming without RV-LV offset. Patients receiving CRT devices will be randomized to either (A) active intervention of programming RV-LV pacing offset to optimize ECG or to (B) active control of nominally programming CRT device without RV- LV offset. The patients will be followed to evaluate change in echocardiogram, quality of life, functional evaluation and a blood marker for heart failure.

Systolic Heart Failure Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Electrocardiography Device: Programming individualized RV-LV pacing offset to optimize ECG Device: Nominally programming CRT device without RV-LV offset Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

Once the eligibility for the study is determined and patient has consented for participation, all study participants will undergo a baseline evaluation (within 6 weeks prior to 2 weeks after CRT device implant/upgrade). Echocardiogram, quality-of-life questionnaire, 6-minute hall walk, blood test, vital signs, ECGs, device interrogation and baseline demographic and medical history including chart review will be obtained. After CRT device implant/upgrade, participants will undergo physiologic evaluations at various (up to 10 or more) RV-LV offset settings including ECGs and echocardiography. A randomized assignment using a random allocation table in REDCap will be used to program patients to (A) intervention or (B) control RV-LV offset setting. Patients will return for study follow-up between 3-12 months. Follow-up evaluations will include echocardiography, quality-of-life questionnaire, 6-minute hall walk test, blood test, vital signs, ECGs, device interrogation, and follow-up medical history including chart review. The patients will continue to be in extended follow-up through review of their medical charts till the end of the study (12 months from date of CRT implant/upgrade of the the last study participant).

Treatment and control arms: All study patients will receive standard of care clinically indicated medical and device therapy per their treating physicians. After implant of a clinically indicated CRT device or upgrade of a preexisting pacemaker or defibrillator device to CRT system, participants will be randomized 1:1 to treatment arms (A) active intervention of programming individualized RV-LV pacing offset to optimize ECG or to (B) active control of nominally programming CRT device without RV-LV offset. Of note, both intervention and control treatment are active FDA-approved CRT therapies and no investigational device or programming will be used, and no clinically indicated treatment will be withheld from any patient. At any time, if in the judgment of the patient's treating physicians or the research team, any treatment including CRT programming different from the study protocol is necessitated for clinical reasons, the appropriate clinically indicated changes will be made. At the end of the study, if the participant is clinically doing well and the programmed CRT settings are deemed clinically appropriate they will be retained, else the CRT programming may be changed as per standard of care.

Enrolled participants who have a failed or unsatisfactory LV lead implant will not be randomized.

Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Individualized RV-LV Pacing Offset Device: Programming individualized RV-LV pacing offset to optimize ECG
After CRT device implant, participants will undergo physiologic evaluations at various (up to 10 or more) RV-LV offset settings including ECGs. The RV-LV offset that optimizes the paced QRS morphology on ECG will be programmed.

Active Comparator: No RV-LV Pacing Offset Device: Nominally programming CRT device without RV-LV offset
After CRT device implant, participants will undergo physiologic evaluations at various (up to 10 or more) RV-LV offset settings including ECGs. Nominal standard-of-care CRT programming with no RV-LV offset will be programmed.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The Primary Outcome is Echocardiographic LV End-systolic Volume. [ Time Frame: 3-12 months ]
    LV end-systolic volume is a reliable surrogate for clinical outcomes in clinical heart failure trials.
