Overview

The SyncAV Post-Market Trial is a prospective, randomized, multi-center trial performed to determine if cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices programmed with SyncAV ON improve long-term CRT response compared to devices programmed with conventional CRT through evaluation of changes in left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling.

The SyncAV Post-Market Trial is designed as a prospective, randomized, multi-center trial. The trial will require physicians to implant an Abbott CRT device and Abbott Quadripolar LV lead with any available right atrial and right ventricular leads. Sites will randomize subjects in a 1:1 ratio within 2 - 6 weeks post successful CRT implant: Arm 1 - SyncAV CRT programmed ON; Arm 2 - programmed fixed atrioventricular (AV) delay. For those subjects randomized to SyncAV programmed ON, sites will measure QRS duration with the subject's intrinsic rhythm (pacing OFF), at biventricular (BiV) pacing nominal settings, with various SyncAV programmed offsets, and at LV first 30 ms, RV first 30 ms and LV-only pacing with optimal SyncAV offsets. The site will then program the subject's device using the SyncAV offset that provided the narrowest QRS duration. For those subjects randomized to the fixed AV delay arm, sites will measure QRS duration with the subject's intrinsic rhythm (pacing OFF) and at BiV pacing nominal settings. Sites will then program the subject's device using BiV pacing nominal settings. Sites will collect data at baseline (before CRT implant), randomization, and at 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month visits. For subjects randomized to the SyncAV ON arm, sites will optimize the SyncAV feature again at 3 months and 6 months in the same manner as the randomization visit.

SyncAV programmed ONDEVICE

For those subjects randomized to SyncAV programmed ON, sites will measure QRS duration with the subject's intrinsic rhythm (pacing OFF), at BiV pacing nominal settings, with various SyncAV programmed offsets, and at LV first 30 ms, RV first 30 ms and LV-only pacing with optimal SyncAV offsets. The site will then program the subject's device using the SyncAV offset that provided the narrowest QRS duration.

Fixed AV delayDEVICE

For those subjects randomized to the fixed AV delay arm, sites will measure QRS duration with the subject's intrinsic rhythm (pacing OFF) and at BiV pacing nominal settings. Sites will then program the subject's device using BiV pacing nominal settings.

Medical Language ↔ Plain English

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Scheduled to receive a new CRT implant or an upgrade (Abbott CRT device and Abbott Quadripolar LV lead) from an existing implantable cardioverter defibrillator/pacemaker implant with no more than 10% RV pacing at the last device interrogation, no prior LV lead placement, AND meet the following additional criteria: 1.

At least 18 years old, or of legal age and willing and capable to give informed consent specific to each country and national laws 3. Willing and able to comply with the prescribed follow-up tests and schedule of evaluations Exclusion Criteria: 1. Recent myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 40 days prior to signing consent 2. Recent cardiac revascularization (angioplasty, stent or bypass graft) in the 4 weeks prior to signing consent or planned within 3 months following consent 3. Cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack in the 3 months prior to signing consent 4. Any other therapeutic cardiovascular procedure (transcatheter aortic valve replacement, MitraClip, cardiac surgery, left atrial appendage closure, patent foramen ovale closure, or any ablation procedures) in the 3 months prior to signing consent 5. Permanent or persistent AF at the time of signing consent 6. Paroxysmal AF with at least one cardioversion within 60 days prior to signing consent 7. Prior CRT device implant 8. Prior His Bundle pacing implant or plan to have His Bundle pacing implant 9. Pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of signing consent 10. Incapacitated or unable to read or write 11. Undergone cardiac transplantation or have a classification of Status 1 for cardiac transplantation or consideration for transplantation during the study follow-up period 12. Life expectancy \< 12 months due to any condition 13. Unavailable for at least 12 months of follow-up visits 14. Enrolled in or intend to participate in a clinical drug and/or device study during this clinical trial which could confound the results of this trial as determined by Abbott
