Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Is an Effective Treatment for Heart Failure and Indications Are Expanding Multiple trials have shown the clinical value of CRT: decreased mortality, improved quality of life, and reduced hospitalizations.1-5 Today, more patients than ever are available to receive a CRT device and benefit from this therapy. 郭航远 绍兴市人民医院 1 Cleland JG, et al.

CRT Is Highly Beneficial1-8 CRT is an effective treatment for heart failure patients with: • systolic dysfunction • ventricular electrical conduction delays Mortality HF or CV Hospitalizations Cardiac Function/ Structure QoL or NYHA CARE-HF1,2 + NA COMPANION3 MIRACLE4 MIRACLE ICD5 REVERSE6 +* = RAFT7 MADIT CRT8 Objective: Reinforce large scale trials have shown CRT is beneficial for heart failure patients. Questions: What are the biggest challenges of HF hospitalizations for your clinic/hospital/reimbursement/patients? What are your biggest challenges in managing your HF patients? What is the biggest challenge in improving your patients’ QOL? Say: Large trials have shown that CRT is an effective treatment for HF patients. Studies of CRT began almost 15 years ago. Over that time, we have seen that CRT reduces morbidity, mortality and HF hospitalizations in Class III and ambulatory Class IV patients. More recent trials confirmed that benefits seen in the more symptomatic population could extend to less symptomatic heart failure patients (RAFT, REVERSE, MADIT CRT).

Number of Patients Receiving CRT May Increase in Coming Years Due to: • Expansion of indications for CRT-D devices to NYHA Class II1-3* • Under-penetration of current NYHA Class III/IV indications4,5 * Indications for CRT-D devices include "Left bundle branch block (LBBB) with a QRS duration ≥ 130 ms, left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 30%, and NYHA Functional Class II" 1 Tracy CM, et al.

Economic Impact Lab Capacity Length of Stay1 Staff Overtime Unpredictable CRT Implant Times CRT Challenges Suboptimal CRT Response Staff Overtime Supply Usage In today’s healthcare environment, hospitals and administrators are increasingly being measured on quality performance, improved outcomes, and cost metrics.1 Larger time blocks may be scheduled for CRT implants to account for variability Last scheduled procedure of the may need to be moved to the next day or the next available time- one day in the hospital for a hf patient costs $800-$1550 per day There is an implanter in South Hampton, United Kingdom- Professor John Morgan- one of the leading implanters in the world. I asked him about this very issue- about how many device cases get bumped and rescheduled to the next day or later? He answered, “At least 50% of our cases scheduled at the end of the day are ultimately moved.” Staff may work overtime to complete all scheduled procedures Multiple lead and delivery tools may be used if initial implant is unsuccessful On average, a HF admission costs a hospital more than $8,000 HF Hospital Admissions1 1 Cost information from 2010 Premier hospital database analyzing 108,982 Inpatient Heart Failure Admissions (Abstract Submission to ISPOR and AHA QCOE, to be presented in July 2013).
