CONNECT Study - Clinical Evaluation Of Remote NotificatioN to rEduCe Time to Clinical Decision

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Arrhythmia, Tachycardia, Atrial Fibrillation, Ventricular Fibrillation

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the ability of clinicians to receive and review information from patients implanted with a heart device over the internet (remote care) is comparable to patients who are seen in-office for routine visits to check the status of their device.

You may qualify if…

• Patient will be implanted with a Medtronic Conexus-enabled Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D) or Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (DR-ICD) device.

You may not qualify if…

• Patient has permanent rapid beats in the upper chamber of the heart (Atrial Fibrillation) - (constant atrial fibrillation in which pharmacological therapy or cardioversion failed or not attempted).
• Patient plans to be on chronic warfarin therapy post-implant and is no longer receiving therapies to attempt to control the rhythm of the beats in their atrium.
• Patient has a previous ICD, CRT-D, Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG) or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Pacemaker (CRT-P).
