Brief Summary:
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.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Congestive Heart Failure Device: SyncAV programmed ON Device: Fixed AV delay Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

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.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: SyncAV Arm
Treatment Arm
 Device: SyncAV programmed ON
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.
Active Comparator: Fixed AV Delay Arm
Control Arm
 Device: Fixed AV delay
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.


Outcome Measures
Go to

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Reduction in left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV) between baseline and 12 months [ Time Frame: 12 months following trial randomization ]
    Reduction of LVESV as a continuous variable from baseline to 12 months compared between subjects in the SyncAV and fixed AV delay arms.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of CRT Responders at 12 months [ Time Frame: 12 months following trial randomization ]
    Percentage of subjects classified as CRT responders after 12 months of follow-up compared between subjects in the SyncAV and fixed AV delay arms, as measured by LVESV reduction of at least 15% compared to baseline.

  2. Reduction in LVESV in female subjects between baseline and 12 months [ Time Frame: 12 months following trial randomization ]
    Reduction of LVESV as a continuous variable from baseline to 12 months compared between female subjects in the SyncAV and fixed AV delay arms.

  3. Percentage of female subjects classified as CRT Responders at 12 months [ Time Frame: 12 months following trial randomization ]
    Percentage of female subjects classified as CRT responders after 12 months of follow-up compared between female subjects in the SyncAV and fixed AV delay arms, as measured by LVESV reduction of at least 15% compared to baseline.
