Fast Induced Remodeling in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction


Sponsor

Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure

Enrollment

105 participants

Start Date

Sep 11, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

FIRE-HFpEF is a multi-center, prospective, randomized, single-blinded, clinical feasibility study. This study will enroll up to 105 subjects with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in the United States. Data will be collected to evaluate whether pacing therapies can lead to improvements in exercise capacity and health status of subjects.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria11

  • Diagnosis of Heart Failure, Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≥ 55% (this and other measurements must be made within the last year).
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class I-III
  • Stable on guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) heart failure medications as determined by the investigator, for at least 1 month, with the exception of loop diuretic therapy. GDMT should be in accordance with current American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC)/Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) Guidelines and include consideration of Sodium/glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) therapy.
  • V End Diastolic Volume indexed to body surface area (BSA) ≤ 80 mL/m\^2.
  • Concentric remodeling or concentric hypertrophy defined as at least one of the following criteria:
  • Left ventricular (LV) posterior or lateral wall thickness \> 11mm
  • Relative wall thickness (RWT) \> 0.42
  • Male and LV mass indexed to BSA ≥115 g/m2
  • Male and LV mass indexed to height ≥ 49.2 g/m2.7
  • Female and LV mass indexed to BSA ≥ 95 g/m2
  • Female and LV mass indexed to height ≥ 46.7 g/m2.7

Exclusion Criteria11

  • Unable or unwilling to undergo contrast MRI.
  • Class I indication for permanent pacing, except for symptomatic chronotropic incompetence
  • Current permanent or persistent Atrial fibrillation (A-fib)
  • Structural heart disease requiring intervention
  • Aortic valve replacement procedure less than 12 months prior to enrollment
  • Known pericardial constriction, genetic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or infiltrative cardiomyopathy
  • Severe aortic or mitral valve disease, defined as severe regurgitation or a valve area \< 1cm\^2
  • Exertional angina
  • Severe pulmonary disease including severe Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (i.e., requiring home oxygen, chronic nebulizer therapy, or chronic oral steroid therapy or hospitalized for pulmonary decompensation within 12 months)
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 25 ml/min/1.73m\^2 as calculated by the Modification in Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula
  • Uncontrolled blood pressure, defined as systolic pressure outside the range of 100 to 160 mmHg despite anti-hypertensive medication.
