HeartLogic France Study: Heart Failure Patients Managed with the HeartLogic Algorithm

Overview

Heart Failure (HF) is a chronic disease that leads to numerous rehospitalisations and affects more than one million people in France. The main objective of this prospective multicentric French study is to describe the annual rate of unplanned hospitalisations for heart failure in a cohort of patients managed by a HeartLogic algorithm. Patients will be included if they fulfill the following requirements 1/Patient implanted with a cardiac defibrillator with or without resynchronisation with the HeartLogic index (RESONATE family, Boston Scientific); 2/History of heart failure (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40 %; or at least one episode of clinical heart failure with elevated NT pro BNP≥450 ng/L). If a HeartLogic index ≥16 is noticed, the investigator will contact the patient to assess the patient's clinical condition and possibly adjust the heart failure treatment.

Heart Failure (HF) is a chronic disease that leads to numerous rehospitalisations and affects more than one million people in France. The main objective of this prospective multicentric French study is to describe the annual rate of unplanned hospitalisations for heart failure in a cohort of patients managed by a HeartLogic algorithm. 310 patients will be included if they fulfill the following requirements 1/Patient implanted with a cardiac defibrillator with or without resynchronisation with the HeartLogic index (RESONATE family, Boston Scientific); 2/History of heart failure (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40 %; or at least one episode of clinical heart failure with elevated NT pro BNP≥450 ng/L). The HeartLogic index will be monitored remotely on a weekly basis for 12 months and in case of HeartLogic index ≥16, the local investigator will contact the patient for assessment and adjust HF treatment as necessary. The primary endpoint is unscheduled hospitalization for HF. A blind and independent committee will adjudicate the events. Blood samples will be collected for biobanking, and quality of life will be assessed.
