Planning to get a CRT-D

Ask your doctor if you would be a good candidate for the RESPONSE-HF research study.


Purpose: To compare the pacing function of CRT-D devices with and without a slight delay timing feature in patients who are not responding appropriately to treatment from their CRT-D.

Target Candidates: Patients planning to get a CRT-D.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Standard indication for a CRT-D.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Heart surgery in previous 6 months.
- Pregnancy.

Details: During your standard device follow-up visits for the nine months following your procedure, research data will be collected. Research data includes such things as questionnaires, hall walk, and echocardiogram. If at your three-month visit you are not responding appropriately to your device, you will be randomized to a pacing group. If you are appropriately responding, you will be withdrawn from the study.
