5 First Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Components of the one of the earliest ICDs: Incl. battery and capacitors the weight was 895 g

6 The ICD Lead is the weak spot of ICD Systems

9 CRT: State of the art and expanding indications Patients with less severe heart failure (asymptomatic LVD and mild HF) Patients with chronic RV pacing due to conduction disease and heart failure Patients with less severe LVD (e.g., LVEF 36% to 50%) or normal LVEF and a chronic pacing indication Patients with a narrow QRS and ventricular dysynchrony measured by echocardiography Changing the definition of ventricular dysynchrony (QRS duration ECHO)

10 CRT: State of the art and expanding indications Patients with less severe heart failure (asymptomatic LVD and mild HF) Patients with chronic RV pacing due to conduction disease and heart failure Patients with less severe LVD (e.g., LVEF 36% to 50%) or normal LVEF and a chronic pacing indication Patients with a narrow QRS and ventricular dysynchrony measured by echocardiography Changing the definition of ventricular dysynchrony (QRS duration ECHO)

Some were before 24 months (730 days), hence the low number at risk. Some were after 24 months, hence the curves rising past 24 months.

19 Is QRS duration a good marker of ventricular dyssynchrony?

20 CRT in NYHA Class I-II Heart Failure >4000 patients evaluated in randomized controlled trials completed as of November 2010 Strong evidence for reverse remodeling LV volumes and dimensions LV ejection fraction Mitral regurgitation Improvement in functional status and outcomes, as measured by clinical composite endpoints combined endpoint of heart failure morbidity and all-cause mortality

21 Is QRS duration a good marker of ventricular dyssynchrony? In the CARE-HF trial patients with a QRS duration between msec had to fulfill 2 out of 3 echocardiographic dyssynchrony criteria to be included. In the subgroup analysis of the Companion trial, patients with a QRS < 160 msec did not benefit from CRT. In the subgroup analysis of the MADIT-CRT and RAFT trial, patients with a QRS < 150 msec did not benefit from CRT.

34 Rationale for Studying CRT in Narrow QRS Patients Recent small studies 1,2,3 have indicated that HF patients with a narrow QRS duration and echocardiographic evidence of ventricular dysynchrony may benefit from CRT Lack of definitive evidence and other contradictory studies 4 provide the rationale for a long-term, randomized, controlled trial of CRT in these patients 1 Khan et al, Eur J Heart Fail 2007; 9: Bleeker et al, J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol 2004; 15: Bleeker et al, Am J Cardiol 2005; 95: Beshai JF et al, N Engl J Med 2007; 357:

35 Rationale for Studying CRT in Narrow QRS Patients Hundreds of thousands of needy heart failure patients could benefit if the indication for CRT was expanded to those with a narrow QRS Study investigates the controversy between electrical and mechanical dysynchrony

36 Potential for CRT in Narrow QRS Patients More than 70% of HF patients present with narrow QRS HF patient population in NYHA III/IV 1,2,3 Total Narrow QRS 70% 30% 30% 50% 50% 35% 50% of patients with narrow QRS have ventricular dyssynchrony Wide QRS (CRT patients according to guidelines) with ventricular dyssynchrony Narrow QRS without ventricular dyssynchrony 1 Schoeller et al, Am J Cardiol 1993; 71: Aaronson et al, Circulation 1997; 95: Farwell et al, Eur Heart J 2000; 21:
