• Research summary

  This feasibility study is to observe blood flow, blood pressure, and electrical activity in the heart’s left ventricle during or shortly after the implant of a Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy Defibrillator device. This device paces the heart from several points and can be programmed in different ways - the unique feature being multi-point pacing in the left ventricle. Scarred areas in the heart from prior heart attacks will also be identified, and how these areas conduct electrical activity will be investigated. This information will help the cardiologist researcher decide how to program the CRT-D device. There is evidence that this extra information collected during or shortly after implant will help optimize the CRT-D programming, which then may lead to better outcomes for the patient. Participants will be followed-up until 6 months after implant, when basic data about their response to the therapy will be collected.
