Heart Failure, Congestive
Eligibility:
All Genders
18+ years
Phase:
NA
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with the OPTIMIZER System is safe and effective in patients with moderate to severe heart failure symptoms.
Detailed Description
IMPULSE Dynamics' FIX HF 5 US Study is a prospective, multi-center, study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) signals delivered by the implantable OPTIMIZER™ ...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Subjects who are 18 years of age or older
- Subjects who are either male or female
- Subjects who have a baseline ejection fraction of 35% or less by echocardiography.
- Subjects who have been treated for heart failure for at least 90 days (including treatment with a β-blocker for at least 90 days unless the patient is intolerant) and are in New York Heart Association functional Class III or IV at the time of enrollment.
- Subjects receiving appropriate, stable medical therapy during the 30 days prior to enrollment for treatment of heart failure, consisting of the appropriate doses of diuretics, ACE-inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor blocker and β-blocker. Stable is defined as no more than a 100% increase or 50% decrease in dose.
- Subjects who, in the opinion of the Principle Investigator (based on the current guidelines for clinical practice), have a clinical indication for an implanted cardiac defibrillator (ICD) and/or pacemaker, must have an existing device or agree to undergo implantation of such a device unless the patient refuses to undergo the implantation of such device for personal reasons.
- Subjects who are willing and able to return for all follow-up visits.
Exclusion
- Subjects whose baseline VO2,max is \<9 ml 02/min/kg.
- Subjects who have a potentially correctible cause of heart failure, such as valvular heart disease or congenital heart disease.
- Subjects who have clinically significant angina pectoris, consisting of angina during daily life (i.e., Canadian Cardiovascular Society Angina score of II or more), an episode of unstable angina within 30 days of enrollment, or angina and/or electrocardiography (ECG) changes during exercise testing performed during baseline evaluation.
- Subjects who have been hospitalized for heart failure which required the use of inotropic support within 30 days of enrollment.
- Subjects who have a clinically significant amount of ambient ectopy, defined as more than 8,900 premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) per 24 hours on baseline Holter monitoring.
- Subjects who have chronic atrial fibrillation or chronic atrial flutter or those cardioverted within 30 days of enrollment.
- Subjects whose exercise tolerance is limited by a condition other than heart failure (e.g., angina, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease \[COPD\], peripheral vascular disease, orthopedic or rheumatologic conditions) or who are unable to participate in a 6-minute walk or a cardiopulmonary stress test.
- Subjects who are scheduled for a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedure, or who have undergone a CABG procedure within 90 days or a PTCA procedure within 30 days of enrollment.
- Subjects who have a biventricular pacing system or who have an accepted indication for such a device.
- Subjects who have had a myocardial infarction within 90 days of enrollment.
- Subjects who have mechanical tricuspid or aortic valves.
- Subjects who have a prior heart transplant.
- Subjects who are participating in another experimental protocol.
- Subjects who are unable to provide informed consent.
