Triage hf medtronic. One in six people will develop heart failure. 12 more than 670000 new cases are diagnosed annually in the united states 3 26 million patients worldwide. Development and validation of an integrated diagnostic algorithm derived from parameters monitored in implantable devices for identifying patients at risk for heart failure hospitalization in an ambulatory setting. Atrioventricular block av block expected to require a high percentage of ventricular pacing that cannot be managed with algorithms to minimize right.

Adult patients aged 18 years with medtronic carelink and triage hf compatible cardiac device in situ undergoing remote monitoring. The triagehf technology assesses a patients risk of heart failure by evaluating factors such as heart rate variability atrial fibrillation and fluid status and stratifies them into three risk categories. Triage hf enrolled 100 subjects with systolic hf implanted with a medtronic high performance device and followed up at three canadian hf centres. These patients also face many personal challenges.

Patient implanted with a medtronic icd crt d or crt p device that is triage hf compatible and capable of automated transmission. On stable optimal heart failure medical therapy if indicated. The primary aim of the triage hf trial was to correlate cardiac implantable electronic device generated heart failure risk status hfrs with signs symptoms and patient behaviours classically associated with worsening heart failure hf. 3 heart failure is the most common cause of hospitalizations due to cardiovascular disease in patients over 65 4.

2 cowie mr sarkar s koehler j et al. 8 12 the primary objective of the triagehf trial was to correlate high hfrs with signs. Heart failure risk status hfrs is a validated dynamic hf risk prediction tool available on medtronic cardiac resynchronization therapy device with defibrillation capability crtd and implantable cardioverter defibrillator icd devices which integrates diagnostic data to generate a patientspecific assessment of low medium or high risk for hf hospitalization hfh in the next 30 days. Nyha class iv patients should be ambulatory with no admissions for hf in the last month and have a reasonable expectation of survival.

High medium and low. Medtronic carelink heart failure risk status technical manual m945636a001 a. The triage heart failure risk score triage hfrs available on medtronic cieds integrates several monitored physiological parameters into a risk prediction model classifying patients as low medium or high risk of hf events within. 50 mortality at 5 years 5.

Hf36in medtronic systems these physiological data are stored within the device until downloaded to the carelink network at the time of a scheduled download manually by the patient or if an abnormal carealert is triggered.
