20 @ ECOST Effectiveness and Cost Of ICD follow-up Schedule with Telecardiology Principal investigator: Pr Salem KACET Primary Objective: ECOST: Study Design The study investigates whether home monitoring follow-up has an impact on the number of patients with more than one Significant Serious Adverse Event (SSAE) since homemonitoring activation. SSAE : composite events comprising : All-cause mortality Cardiac serious adverse events Device serious adverse events

21 Methodology: ECOST: Study Design The investigation compares two groups : CONTROL Group, i.e. patients receiving the standard of care. Due to safety concerns, the patients are followed every 6 months after a firstfollow-up (between 1 and 3 months after implantation). ACTIVE Group, i.e. patients followed with home-monitoring. After a first follow-up, the patients are followed one time per year. Within this period, the additional ICD follow-up or therapeutic intervention will be primarily triggered on cardio-reports reception, Data/IEGM-online analysis on internet site or patient/physician call. ECOST is a clinical study - prospective - multicenter - randomized ECOST: Study Design Timeline Enrolment Implantation Discharge/Rando 1-3 months Control Group 9 months 15 months 21 months 27 months Active Group Mandatory follow up Additional follow up triggered by Home-Monitoring Additional follow up triggered by Patient and/or Physician

22 Secondary Objectives: ECOST: Study Design A complete evaluation of Home-Monitoring «Costs minimization»analyse Home-monitoring workload Quality of life SF-36 Costs / Effectiveness analyse Contingent evaluation Number of Adverse Events (AE) Delay of Home Monitoring to manage AE Sensitivity of Home Monitoring to detect ICD dysfunctions Inappropriate therapies rate and impact on hospitalization Number of ICD charge and impact on ICD-battery longevity ECOST: Study Design Key Inclusion criterias: Indication for single or dual chamber ICD (without CRT) Key Exclusion criterias: NYHA class IV Pregnant woman or woman who plan to become pregnant during the trial Patient whose medical situation is not stable Presence of any disease, other than patient's cardiac disease, associated with reduced likelihood of survival for the duration of the trial, e.g. cancer, uraemia (urea >70mg/dl or creatinine >3mg/dl), liver failure, etc. Age <18 years Patient unable to handle Home Monitoring system correctly The patient is not willing and able to comply with the protocol Change of residence expected during study Insufficient GSM coverage at patient's home Participation in another clinical study Patient unwilling to sign the consent for participation.

26 Contributions of Remote Monitoring to the Follow-up of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Leads under Advisory Professeur Salem KACET Chef du Service de Cardiologie A Rythmologie et Stimulation cardiaque CHRU de Lille- Hôpital Cardiologique F Lille Lead fractures and advisory Lead fracturescan cause inappropriate shocks, failure to defibrillate or loss of pacing function, some of these events being potentially lethal Last advisory in 0ctober 2007(Medtronic Inc. Sprint Fidelis Defibrillator Leads): recommendation of a tighter follow-up schedule Lead fractures may be preceded by asymptomatic abnormal lead behaviour(impedance, over sensing, under sensing)

27 Reaction of Ecost Safety Committee How to monitor patients with Sprint Fidelis Lead in the Ecost trial? Decision of the security committee: Conventional follow up every 3 months in accordance with manufacturers guidelines Activation of Home-Monitoring in both patients groups Setting of pacing impedance alerts on Home-Monitoring service center in accordance with Medtronic guidelines Patients followed in a register Objectives of this analysis How the remote monitoring (RM) of ICDs may be used to improve the quality of care and can detect lead fractures? Usefulness of recommended 3-month interval leads FU? This analysis describes 2-year observations with RM in recipients of Sprint Fidelis lead
