CARE-HF Study
Endpoints (mean 29.4 months):
Time to first event for the composite of hospitalization for
a major cardiovascular event or all-cause mortality
CARE-HF Study
Presented at ACC Scientific Sessions 2005
813 patients with patients with advanced heart failure (LVEF ≤ 35%, NYHA class III or IV), and cardiac dyssynchrony
despite standard pharmacological therapy.
Randomized
Control
Continued optimal pharmacological therapy
n=404
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)
Pharmacological therapy with CRT
n=409
Presented at ACC Scientific Sessions 2005
Baseline clinical characteristics were similar between the treatment groups, with 46% of patients having dilated cardiomyopathy and 38% with ischemic heart disease.
Mean LV ejection fraction was 25%.
Of the 409 patients randomized to the CRT device, 95% had a successful implantation.
The primary endpoint of all-cause mortality or hospitalization for a major cardiovascular event occurred less frequently in the CRT group than the medical therapy alone group (hazard ratio [HR] 0.63, 95% CI 0.51-0.77).
The major secondary endpoint of all-cause mortality was also lower in the CRT group (HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.48-0.85).

The composite of death or hospitalization for worsening heart failure was also lower in the CRT group (HR 0.54, p<0.001).
Patients in the CRT group had a lower NYHA class and a higher Euro Quality of Life score at 90 days.
Mean left ventricular ejection fraction was higher on average in the CRT group compared with the medical therapy alone group.

Among patients with advanced heart failure despite standard pharmacological therapy, treatment with cardiac resynchronization therapy was associated with a reduction in the primary endpoint of all-cause mortality and hospitalization for major cardiovascular events compared with standard pharmacological therapy.
Similar results were observed in the COMPANION trial, which showed a reduction in the composite endpoint of death or hospitalization through a mean 16 month follow-up in patients treated with CRT with or without an implantable defibrillator, but the reduction in mortality did not reach statistical significance (p=0.06).
