Cardiac Implantable Electronical Devices in Advanced Heart Failure

Cardiac Implantable Electronical Devices in Advanced Heart Failure

Research Topics uitklapper, klik om te openen

Thee research in this theme is focused on the treatment of heart failure with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED). It can be divided in the following three topics:

1. Prevention of ventricular tachyarrhythmias

In  collaboration with the Department of Medical Physiology we elaborate the mechanism of arrhythmias in the remodeled heart and develop new techniques which were implemented into implantable cardioverter / defibrillators to predict and prevent ventricular arrhythmias in heart failure patients.

2. Imaging guided pacemaker implantation

We want to improve cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) by enhanced patient selection and MRI targeting left ventricular lead placement in collaboration with the cardiac imaging group

3. Remote patient monitoring. 

In an international multicenter randomized trial (Remote CIED) we showed the usefulness of remote patient monitoring of heart failure patients with implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD). The future plan is to combine remote patient monitoring with self-care management  of heart failure patients with an ICD
