Optimizing Left Ventricular Lead To Improve Cardiac Output

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Ischemic Congestive Cardiomyopathy, Dilated Cardiomyopathy, Congestive Heart Failure

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine if optimal lead placement, guided by the largest improvement in aortic flow measured by Doppler will: 1. Improve the way the heart's left ventricle functions 2. Decrease the number of hospital admissions for heart failure related symptoms 3. Reduces uncoordinated heart contractions 4. Improve quality of life as measured by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionaire and NYHA Class assessed after six months
