Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Efficacy Enhancements
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Conducted AF Response (CAFR) and Conducted AF Response Plus (CAFRPlus) for Atrial Fibrillation. Completed, enrolled 71 participants across 19 sites in 7 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the amount of effective CRT (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) pacing during AF (atrial fibrillation) when CAFRPlus (Conducted AF Response Plus) is applied is not inferior to the amount of effective CRT pacing during AF when CAFR (Conducted AF Response) is applied.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The CAFR algorithm is currently available in the Medtronic market-released devices and intended to promote delivery of CRT pacing during conducted AT/AF episodes.
The CAFRPlus algorithm is part of the CRTee feature set. This feature set has a diagnostic element that tracks the loss of effective CRT pacing that is occurring over time, both during normal sinus rhythm (NSR) and during AF. It also has an interventional element (i.e. CAFRPlus) that uses this evaluation of effective CRT pacing to adjust the pacing rate during AF to decrease loss of effective CRT pacing.
