2 MADIT-CRT and His Many Sons Paul A. Rogers, MD, PhD 1 and Daniel P. Morin, MD, MPH 1,2 1 John Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute, Ochsner Medical Center, New Orleans, LA 2 Ochsner Clinical School, University of Queensland School of Medicine, New Orleans, LA Correspondence to: Daniel P. Morin, Ochsner Medical Center, 1415 Jefferson Highway, New Orleans, LA Phone dmorin@ochsner.org Father Abraham had many sons, and many sons had father Abraham, declares the children s song about a patriarchal figure of Judeo-Christian and Islamic belief. This respectful ballad underscores the extensive impact of Abraham s lineage, as tradition holds. In this issue of Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, Kutyifa and colleagues review the landmark Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial with Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (MADIT-CRT) trial and a selection of its important offspring sub-studies 1. Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is among the leading causes of death in the United States, with an annual incidence estimated at 450,000 and ranking second only to all cancers combined in terms of lives lost 2. Implantable cardioverterdefibrillators (ICDs) are a mainstay of modern SCD prevention, but the work of identifying all populations that would benefit from ICDs remains far from complete. This unsettling fact is manifested in the estimation that fully 66% of SCDs occur in patients without prior recognized coronary heart disease, or in
3 those deemed low-risk 3. Professional societal guidelines list myriad indications for ICD implantation, including an interplay between the severity of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, its etiology (ischemic versus nonischemic), heart failure (HF) symptoms, and temporal relationships between HF diagnosis, myocardial infarction, and/or coronary revascularization 4. While patients with ICDs are relatively protected from SCD, the Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Trial II (MADIT-II) trial suggested that some of the anti-scd benefit derived from ICDs is mitigated by longer time at risk for HF, partially replacing SCD with HF events 5. However, device therapy offers help for this problem as well: patients with a wide QRS and a depressed LVEF may derive benefit from biventricular pacing through cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) 6,7. Several prior studies evaluated CRT in patients with severe heart failure 8,9. MADIT-CRT, though, evaluated whether the benefit of CRT might extend to those with low LVEF and ECG evidence of dyssynchrony but only mild heart failure symptoms 10. The trial found that the group receiving CRT-D suffered fewer deaths and HF events than the ICD-only group. This finding is extremely important in its own right. What helps to make MADIT-CRT an even more important study is that adjunctive data were meticulously gathered during the trial. These comprehensive data
4 allow for many post-hoc analyses, generating important hypotheses and resulting in the numerous MADIT-CRT sub-studies that have been published already (on our count, 70!). Here, the devil is in the details. As Kutyifa explains, when the study population was stratified based on QRS morphology, benefit was seen only in those with left bundle branch block (LBBB). In fact, there was a trend toward increased risk of death when CRT-D was implanted in patients with non-lbbb morphologies 11, whereas LBBB CRT-D recipients lived longer 12. This LBBBspecific benefit of CRT certainly seems physiologically plausible. In the absence of LBBB, left ventricular pacing may actually induce cardiac dyssynchrony, not improve it. Further post-hoc analysis suggested that there might be a subpopulation with non-lbbb wide QRS that may benefit from CRT. Curiously, CRT showed differential effects based on PR interval. CRT-treated patients with a PR interval 230 ms showed a significant mortality benefit, whereas those with PR <230 ms had a higher risk of death 13. At this point, it is unclear whether it is a true finding that CRT in mildly symptomatic heart failure patients with a long PR improves atrio-biventricular synchrony, leading to this mortality benefit. It is possible that this is an example of post-hoc type I error that arose by chance among many parallel comparisons. However, it is an intriguing finding. Interestingly, the Resynchronization Therapy in Narrow QRS (ReThinQ) trial made a similar observation 14. In another fringe category of patients, those with significant systolic HF and LV dyssynchrony on echocardiography but with a narrow QRS,
5 ReThinQ showed no overall clinical benefit to CRT. However, CRT-treated patients with a PR interval 180 ms showed greater improvement in HF symptoms, increase in VO 2 max on cardiopulmonary stress testing, and improvement in LVEF as compared with those with a shorter PR. Kutyifa and colleagues further describe MADIT-CRT s insight into the anatomic and physiologic manifestations of CRT-D response, including reduced LV enddiastolic and end-systolic volumes, reduced left atrial volume, improved RV function, and improved LV dyssynchrony and LVEF. In addition, they discuss a MADIT-CRT sub-study showing that patients most likely to benefit from CRT-D had only mild to moderate (i.e., non-severe) echocardiographic dyssynchrony and higher myocardial strain on speckle tracking echocardiography 15. This finding suggests further segmentation of the MADIT-CRT-like population: perhaps those with only mild symptoms and a wide QRS but with myocardial burn-out, as evidenced by severe dyssynchrony and low LV strain, may be unable to benefit from CRT. Remarkably, in MADIT-CRT, resynchronization s ability to produce a clinical benefit did not seem to be dependent upon LVEF. The MADIT-CRT core echocardiography laboratory identified subjects with LVEF under-measured by the enrolling center that was in fact >30%. The resultant sub-study showed no interaction between EF and outcomes, suggesting that patients with a wide QRS but only mild HF symptoms and only mild systolic dysfunction may still benefit
6 from CRT-D 16. Across a wide array of CRT studies, it is strikingly consistent that 30-50% of patients remain nonresponders 17,18. Based on MADIT-CRT and its sub-studies, can we formulate a predictive model to better select patients for CRT, so as to improve the odds of response? Does QRS morphology matter? Should we measure the PR interval before considering CRT? Should myocardial strain be evaluated routinely? Do we need to rethink EF and HF class cutoffs when deciding whether to offer these devices? These incompletely answered questions demand dedicated studies to properly evaluate the suggestions of MADIT-CRT s post-hoc analyses, hopefully verifying truth rather than type I error. MADIT-CRT and his many sub-study sons have provided many answers, and have posed many more questions that need answering. As the tales of Abraham and his many sons have influenced countless people of various religious traditions, MADIT-CRT and its many sub-studies continue to enrich our understanding of cardiac resynchronization therapy. 1.
