Study Details

Brief summary:

Durable left ventricular assist devices (dLVAD) have been increasingly utilized since the mid to late 1990s, with an uptick of utility starting in 2010 following expanded indications for therapy to not only include a bridge to transplantation strategy, but also for those individuals who suffer from advanced heart failure (HF) and do not qualify for cardiac transplantation. Despite the decreasing size of the newest generation devices leading to a lessened occurrence of adverse events, bleeding and infection still remain a concern for clinicians, as well as a general lack of predictability towards adverse events in individuals with a dLVAD in place. There is a lack of description in the literature currently, regarding the interface between what the pump data provides and what is seen in clinical practice. There also is little known about the effects of what is provided in the pump data, in correlation to quality-of-life following dLVAD implantation.

Therefore, the purpose of this study is to prospectively analyze normal and abnormal pump data through pump operations such as suction events, low flow alarms as well as other adventitious alarms, PI events and power cable disconnects greater than 20 seconds, from the HeartMate 3 ® dLVAD in order to clinically correlate this data to quality of life, frailty and other various medical conditions and adverse events as defined by the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (Intermacs). This will be achieved through two aims: 1) Evaluate the effectiveness of dLVAD pump operations data on clinical practice application (quality of life, frailty and various medical conditions, and adverse events such as GIB, RHF, infection, hypertension, arrhythmias and stroke); and 2) Evaluate correlations and relationships of longitudinal normal and abnormal dLVAD pump operations data, to demographic and clinical variables. This study is the first study to evaluate HeartMate 3 ® dLVAD pump operations data over time for effectiveness in the clinical practice.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

Mayo Clinic

Obtain demographic and clinical data prior to and following implantation of a HeartMate 3 ® device. HeartMate 3® downloaded pump operations data will be obtained at the following scheduled intervals: discharge from the ICU, at the time of discharge from the hospital (or ± 3 days from discharge), 3-months post-implant, 6-months post-implant, and lastly at 12-months post-implant. Downloadable pump operations data will include evaluation of suction events, low flow and other adventitious alarms, PI events and incidence of power cable disconnects beyond 20 seconds. The previously mentioned data will also be collected during any unplanned office visits, any admission regardless of the reason, unplanned ER visits related to equipment problems or any serious adverse event-related ER visits.

Downloadable pump operations data will include evaluation of suction events, low flow and other adventitious alarms, PI events and incidence of power cable disconnects beyond 20 seconds. The previously mentioned data will also be collected during any unplanned office visits, any admission regardless of the reason, unplanned ER visits related to equipment problems or any serious adverse event-related ER visits.
