Lead Sponsor:
Creighton University
Conditions:
Arterial Stiffness
Eligibility:
All Genders
19+ years
Brief Summary
To determine if arterial stiffness as measured by non-invasive pulse wave velocity can predict the response to resynchronization therapy in heart failure.
Detailed Description
The patients receiving CRT are medically refractory, symptomatic, NYHA class III or IV disease and QRS duration of 130 m sec or greater, and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 30 percent or less....
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- The patients receiving CRT are medically refractory, symptomatic, NYHA class III or IV disease and QRS duration of 130 m sec or greater, and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 30 percent or less.
- All individuals are carefully selected after appropriate clinical evaluation as determined by the treating physicians to exclude possible reversible causes of heart failure.
Exclusion
- Patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and non-palpable carotid and/or femoral pulses will be excluded due to technical limitations of the procedure used for the measurement of arterial stiffness.
