Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Heart failure is a progressive disease that decreases the pumping action of the heart. This may cause a backup of fluid in the heart and may result in heart beat changes. When there are changes in the heart beat sometimes an implantable heart device is used to control the rate and rhythm of the heart beat. The purpose of the REVERSE clinical trial is to determine whether pacing in both the left and right ventricles using Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) can help slow the progression of heart failure in people who have mild or previous symptoms and poor heart pumping function. This kind of therapy has previously been shown to reduce symptoms and improve exercise capacity in people with more advanced forms of heart failure.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Subjects with previously symptomatic heart failure but no current symptoms (New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class I, Stage C) or subjects with mild heart failure that only sometimes interferes with daily activities (NYHA Class II)
* Subjects with a QRS of 120 ms or more (The QRS interval is a measurement of how the electrical signal involved in a heart beat travels/conducts through the ventricles. A wide QRS (120 ms or more) suggests that there is a conduction problem (or block) in the ventricles).
* Subjects with a left ventricular ejection fraction less than or equal to 40%. (The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a measurement of how well the left ventricle pumps blood out to the rest of the body. The higher the LVEF the more blood the ventricle is pumping.)
* Subjects with a left ventricular end diastolic dimension (LVEDD) greater than or equal to 55. (The left ventricular end diastolic dimension (LVEDD) is a measurement of heart size taken during an echocardiogram that is one indication of the health of the left ventricle.)

Exclusion Criteria

* Subjects who are pacemaker dependent (heart would not beat without the help of an implanted device to pace it).
* Subjects with heart failure that severely limits daily activities (NYHA Class III) or subjects with severe heart failure with symptoms while resting (NYHA Class IV).
* Subjects hospitalized due to heart failure within past 3 months.
