A Study of the Effect of Exercise on Cardiac Hemodynamics After Adjusting Atrial-Ventricular and Interventricular Timing Delays in Patients with a CRT (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) Device

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the resuts of adjusting atrial-ventricular (AV) and interventricular (VV) timing delays on cardiac hemodynamics at rest and during exercise for patients who have a CRT (cardiac resynchronization therapy) device. Most current attempts to optimize CRT are done under resting conditions and patients report symptoms during mild daily exercise.
