Slide 2-

Congestive Heart Failure 400,000 5.0 million 250,000 Annual Incidence Heart Failure Prevalence Annual Mortality U.S. Up to 30 % of CHF patients have an IVCD (80% with a LBBB) which has been linked to increases in mortality and morbidity. CHF is the leading cause hospitalizations in the US and uses up 5% of the health care costs (1999 stats) 1-2% of the population and 6% of the population >65 Prevalence is on the rise.
Slide 3-

Class I Asymptomatic heart failure ejection fraction (EF) <40% Class II Mild symptomatic heart failure with ordinary exertion Class IV Symptomatic heart failure at rest Class III Moderate symptomatic heart failure with less than ordinary exertion NYHA Class-evaluates the disability imposed on the patient The FDA and the ACC/AHA Guidelines have approved biventricular pacing for class 3 and 4.

Leading Causes of Death in the U.S. National Vital Statistics Report. Oct. 12, 2001;49(11). MMWR. State-specific mortality from sudden cardiac death – US 1999. Feb 15, 2002;51:123-126. 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% Septicemia Nephritis Alzheimer’s Disease Influenza/pneumonia Diabetes Accidents/injuries Chronic lower respiratory diseases Cerebrovascular disease Other cardiac causes All cancers You must combine deaths from all cancers to outnumber the deaths from SCA each year. All other causes Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)

Right Ventricular Pacing RV apex pacing is harmful in patients with LV dysfunction “Paced” LBBB Abnormal LV activation Reduced stroke volume
Slide 9-

RV pacing MADIT II (2002) had a survival benefit with the ICD but in a subgroup analysis, there was an increase in heart failure morbidity (more hospitalizations) felt due to forced RV pacing compared to controls in which no pacing was present.
Slide 10-

MADIT II: Complications New or Worsening HF (p= 0.09) N= 490 N= 742 RV pacing causes ventricular dysynchrony and may lead to worsening HF. Intrinsic ventricular activation is better for ICD patients with left ventricular dysfunction who do not “need” pacing. <10% of ICD patients have a Class I pacing indication at the time of implant. Physicians, when appropriate, should consider programming of ICDs to avoid frequent RV pacing.
Slide 11-

ICD indication but no indication for a pacemaker Ef < 40% DDDR @ 70BPM versus VVI 40 BPM DAVID — Dual Chamber and VVI Implantable Defibrillator Trial
Slide 12-

The Concept In most patients with an IVCD (QRS > 130 ms) , the presence of atrial-biventricular (RV + LV) pacing will provide early stimulation to an otherwise late segment of electrical activation in the LV. This should translate into an increase in the EF, decrease of the LV dimension, improvement in the QOL and NYHA class. This may translate into an decrease in CHF exacerbations , hospitalizations and a decrease in mortality.
Slide 13-

The Proof 1994–1997: Mechanistic and both short- and longer-term observational studies. Studies initially used epicardial leads placed by thoracotomy or thorascope. The first BiV pacer was implanted in 1994 1998–1999: Randomized, controlled studies to assess exercise capacity, functional status, and quality of life. There was development of transvenous leads via the coronary sinus in to get to the LV. Cohen TJ, Klein J. J Inva2002;14:48-53.
Slide 14-

The Proof 2000–2005: Randomized, controlled trials to assess combined mortality and CHF hospitalization. Also evaluated the combined benefit of ICD’s with CRT. Future: Identify patients who will benefit from CRT along with the QRS duration.This will use echocardiographic markers of asynchrony. 20% of patients do not respond to therapy in clinical trials with a wide QRS and 50% patients with a narrow QRS/CHF have asynchrony on echo and may benefit from this therapy. If the QRS is < 150 then the chances of responding to BiVP is ~5%. It will be in this patient group of QRS of 120-150 ms where preselection of responders will be most valuable.

Cumulative Enrollment in Cardiac Resynchronization Randomized Trials
Slide 17-

This was the first multicenter trial and used the standard endocardial RV lead and an epicardial LV lead via thoracotomy or thorascope Single blinded RCT 53 centers in Europe 41 patients PATH-CHF: 1999 Pacing Therapy for Congestive Heart Failure
Slide 18-

PATH-CHF
Slide 19-

PATH-CHF Primary endpoints Peak VO2 Six-minute walk distance Secondary endpoints Minnesota Living with Heart Failure score (QOL) NYHA class EF Trend towards decrease in Hospitalizations Acute hemodynamic testing revealed that the lateral and posterolateral walls were the best target sites. The best responders were those with QRS>150 , long PR and dP/dt < 700 mm Hg/s
Slide 20-

MUSTIC: 2001 Multicenter Stimulation in CM European study with 67 patients QRS>150, CHF, EF <35% BiVP versus backup VVI pacing at 40 BPM Increase in 6 minute walk time , QOL and Peak VO2 with BiVP and persisted for up to 12 months 60% decrease in CHF hospitalizations First to use endocardial LV leads via the CS No significant change in mortality, but a trend towards an improvement. Acute hemodynamic studies showed the mid lateral wall to be the best site
Slide 21-

MIRACLE:2002 Multi-center In Sync Randomized Clinical Evaluation Trial Double blinded RCT First US trial Class 3 or 4, on OPT, QRS >130 ms, EF<35% Enrollment of 453 patients
Slide 22-

MIRACLE
Slide 23-

Nonresponders: older, ischemic CM, no MR, QRS<150 Responders: had shorter duration on CHF and longer QRS>155 MIRACLE
Slide 24-

MIRACLE There was a decrease in hospitalizations of 50% at 6 months and a trend towards a decrease in mortality. All other primary and secondary endpoints were met: 6 minute walk time, peak Vo2, QOL, EF , NYHA class, LVEDD Magnitude of improvement not influenced by degree of QRS shortening with BiVP (average in all was –20msec)
Slide 25-

FDA Approval The first CRT device was approved by the FDA in September 2001 . The first CRT with an ICD was approved by the FDA in May 2002 .
Slide 26-

MADIT 1 1996 required a positive EP study MUSTT 1999 required a positive EP study Madit 2 2002 prior MI (ischemic cardiomyopathy) and EF<30% (no EP study required) ;60% had CHF and 50% had QRS > 120 ms; resulted in a 31% decrease risk of death and halted prematurely due to the positive effect of the ICD: resulted in the FDA approving the ICD for primary prevention this patient population, but only those with a QRS > 120 ms. The primary ICD prevention trials
Slide 27-

The primary ICD prevention trial SCD-Heft 2005 The SCD-Heft trial resulted in FDA approval of the ICD January 2005 in patients with CHF and EF<35 % that included both ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy for primary prevention without a positive EP study or ventricular ectopy . No QRS cutoff was required.

COMPANION:2004 Comparison of Medical Therapy, Pacing and Defibrillation in Heart Failure
Slide 30-

COMPANION Enrolled 1520 patients class 3 and 4, QRS >120ms Primary endpoint: death or hospitalization for any cause CRT met the primary endpoints and the CRT +/- ICD significantly reduces mortality This was the first to show mortality benefit from CRT alone Showed that patients with CRT also benefit from ICD therapy OPT had SCD in 36%, 23% in CRT and 2.9% in CRT+ICD
Slide 31-

CRT arm had 20% reduction in mortality and hospitalization over OPT arm but it was not statistically significant Significant reduction in CRT-ICD arm of 40% for mortality over OPT arm (19% in OPT and 11% in CRT-ICD group) Study was halted prematurely due to its positive benefit. Mean follow up was 16 months COMPANION
Slide 32-

CARE-HF : March 2005 The effect of cardiac resynchronization on morbidity and mortality in heart failure in 813 patients in Europe ( prospective multicenter RCT) with completed enrollment by 2002 Large patient size and length of trial (average follow up of 29 months) allowed ability to asses effects of CRT Looked at CRT alone (no ICD) Patients with class 3 or 4, EF < 35%, QRS >120 ms There was a 37% reduced mortality or first hospitalization for a cardiac cause compared to OPT
Slide 33-

CARE-HF All endpoints were met : EF, NYHA, QOL, BNP, Echo and hemodynamic parameters 33% of the deaths in the CRT group were due to SCD For every 9 devices, one death and 3 hospitalizations were prevented Echo criteria in patients with QRS 120-149ms to look for asynchrony (had to have 2 of 3) Aortic pre-ejection delay of > 140 ms ( onset of QRS to Aortic ejection) Interventricular mechanical delay of >40 ms ( RV-LV) Delayed activation of the postero-lateral LV wall (>50ms)

CRT Procedure and Device Related Risks relative to CS placement CS lead dislogdement 8% CS dissection or perforation 5% Failure of lead placement 8% Phrenic nerve stimulation 2% ALL other risks associated with pacer or ICD implantation and anesthesia in these patients.
Slide 37-

CS Leads they now come in many shapes and sizes and the the OTW system
Slide 38-

Achieving Cardiac Resynchronization Goal: Atrial synchronous biventricular pacing Transvenous approach for left ventricular lead via coronary sinus Back-up epicardial approach
Slide 39-

RAO is best to distinguish BASE position from APEX
Slide 40-

LAO is best to distinguish LATERAL position from SEPTAL ANTERIOR INFERIOR LATERAL SEPTAL Anterior Posterior Lateral
Slide 41-

LAO
Slide 42-

The implant 3 separate sticks via Seldinger technique in the subclavian vein -can be done from the right but it is more difficult. Use standard peel back sheaths for the RA and RV leads The RV lead is positioned first - could develop CHB or VT so it is good to have this in (screw-in or tined) Advance the long guide sheath into the RA ( not to the CS) Advance a Coronary Sinus EP catheter via the long guide sheath into the CS – the LAO is the best: point towards the spine. Advance the sheath while pulling back on the CS catheter to get the sheath into the CS Some would use dye at this point to look at the anatomy of the CS and its branches
Slide 43-

The implant Advance the CS lead with or without the OTW system and make sure you place it in a mid/lateral or posterolateral position. Never go where the LAD would be but where the obtuse marginals would be. Test the CS lead including at 10 volts for phrenic nerve stimulation Pull back on the sheath until it is out of the OS, then peel it out with a retention guide wire in the CS-be careful about dislodgement Position the atrial lead in the RAA (screw-in or tined) Test the ICD with induction of VF twice separated by 3-5 minutes: can do at a later time if the time is > 4 hours or the patient has been unstable in any way. Always use a high energy device in these patients.
Slide 44-

The 3 levels of asynchrony Intraventricular asynchrony is best treated by placing the LV lead in the best anatomic location-usually the lateral or posterolateral (proven my multiple studies). Get the LV working. Interventricular asynchrony is dealt with by adjusting the V-V interval. Get the RV and the LV to work together. A-V asynchrony is dealt with by adjusting the A-V interval. Get the atria and the ventricles working together.

Paced at any other LV site Paced at most mechanically delayed LV site
Slide 46-

CRT and Tissue Doppler Imaging -a measure of intraventricular delay Measures dyssynchronous (delayed) contraction patterns @ different areas of the ventricle Measure from the onset of the QRS to the peak systolic shortening of that segment Defined as a segment with > 50 ms delay: this indicates intraventricular delay or asynchrony by ECHO criteria Colors: green-yellow-red (the longest delay of >300 ms)
Slide 47-

AV Delay Optimization Methods Electrocardiographic COMPANION trial method Echocardiographic (combined) Aortic velocity time integral (VTI) methods Mitral velocity Doppler methods:E and A waves Ritter formula Hemodynamic measurements Pulse pressure method dP/dtmax method
Slide 48-

COMPANION Method: QRS < 150 Sensed AV Delay: Intracardiac AV interval: AS to VS = 300 ms Intrinsic QRS duration: QRS = 140 ms
Slide 49-

COMPANION Method: QRS >150 Sensed AV Delay: Intracardiac AV interval: AS to VS = 240 ms Intrinsic QRS duration: QRS = 180 ms
Slide 50-

Aortic VTI Method Objective: Identify the AV Delay that yields the maximum cardiac output as determined by an aortic VTI measurement Procedure: Obtain continuous wave Doppler echo of aortic valve outflow to obtain VTI measurement Record VTI values over a range of programmed AV Delays Program the AV Delay value that yields the maximum aortic VTI
Slide 51-

Mitral Velocity Doppler Echo Method Objective: Identify the AV Delay that maximizes LV filling using mitral velocity echocardiographic measurements1 Procedure #1: “A-wave cutoff” Obtain transmitral Doppler echo at a “long” programmed AV Delay during ventricular pacing Shorten the programmed AV Delay by 10-20 ms until the echo Doppler A-wave becomes truncated (A wave is atrial contraction) Lengthen the programmed AV Delay back to the value where there is no A-wave cutoff. This timing should enable ventricular contraction to occur just at the end of atrial systole
Slide 52-

V-V Timing: synchronize the RV and the LV The best V-V setting by measuring the RVOT and LVOT via PW Doppler V-V above > 40 ms is considered abnormal In normals, the RV will contract before the LV in the heart by -20 ms LV and RV have different outputs in the newer devices that allow sequential instead of simultaneous delivery of output and thus allow for this to be programmable.
Slide 53-

Therapy for Heart Failure EF <40%…then need to evaluate patient for etiology of cardiomyopathy and begin to optimize medical therapy. If the patient is Class 3 or 4 , has a QRS> 130 ms, has had a documented EF<35% for >9 months… then consider for CRT-ICD.

Stages of Heart Failure
Slide 55-

Summary Large number of patients studied in multiple RCTs. CRT improves quality of life, exercise capacity, functional capacity, EF, peak VO2. CRT reduces the risk of mortality, worsening HF, and hospitalizations for CHF. CRT + ICD significantly reduces risk of mortality.
