VDI’s Ultra-High Frequency Electrocardiogram (UHF-ECG) for the Diagnosis of Ventricular Electrical Dyssynchrony (VED)

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the VDI UHF-ECG System in the diagnosis of VED when compared to the 12-lead ECG in patients with bradycardia and heart failure indicated for pacemaker implantation.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adults with bradycardia indicated for pacemaker implant or heart failure patients indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with one of the following:
    • Bradycardia with ventricular synchrony and QRS duration < 110 ms in men or < 100 ms in women or;
    • Bradycardia with LBBB and QRS duration ≥ 140 ms in men or  ≥ 130 ms in women or;
    • Bradycardia with RBBB and QRS duration ≥ 130 ms in men or ≥ 120 ms in women or;
    • Heart failure with LBBB and QRS duration ≥ 140 ms in men or ≥ 130 ms in women 
  • Understands the nature of the study and is willing to comply with all study requirements.
  • Provides written informed consent.
  • For participants in Europe, females of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to the procedure.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Complete AV block (3rd-degree AV block) without a stable escape rhythm or other circumstances where there is no measurable QRS.
  • Subjects with a previous or current pacemaker or ICD implant.
  • Anatomical or other conditions that may make a 12-lead ECG difficult to obtain, such as an allergy to components of the ECG pads, burns, open wounds, etc.
  • Currently enrolled in another investigational device or drug trial that has not completed the active treatment phase and/or would conflict with this study.
  • Other co-morbid condition(s) that could limit the participant’s ability to participate in the study or to comply with study requirements or impact the scientific integrity of the study.
