Trial Outcomes & Findings for QuickOpt Chronic Study (NCT NCT01172067)

NCT ID: NCT01172067

Last Updated: 2019-10-08

Results Overview

The primary outcome is the percent change in LVESV at 12 months compared to baseline. This outcome measure is assessed through evaluation of echocardiograms at both baseline and 12 months, with a decrease in the percent change in LVESV at 12 months indicating clinical improvement. The percent change in patients with devices optimized with QuickOpt is compared with that of patients with devices optimized using standard echocardiography techniques to determine if one method of optimization results in a greater change in LVESV.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and12 months

Population: A total of 108 patients in the QuickOpt group and 118 patients in the Echocardiography group had LVESV measurements at both baseline and 12 months to allow comparison of the percent change in LVESV.

The primary outcome is the percent change in LVESV at 12 months compared to baseline. This outcome measure is assessed through evaluation of echocardiograms at both baseline and 12 months, with a decrease in the percent change in LVESV at 12 months indicating clinical improvement. The percent change in patients with devices optimized with QuickOpt is compared with that of patients with devices optimized using standard echocardiography techniques to determine if one method of optimization results in a greater change in LVESV.
