Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeTreatment
Scientific titleRESynchronisation in Patients with heart failure and a Normal QRS Duration (RESPOND): A randomised controlled trial
Study acronymRESPOND
Study objectivesBiventricular pacing in patients with heart failure and Quick Release System (QRS) less than 120 ms will improve patient exercise tolerance.

Please note that as of 19/02/10 the title and acronym of this study has been updated. The study was previously known as:
Title: Birmingham biventricular pacing in patients with heart failure unselected for dyssynchrony
Acronym: BIPIDS (BIventricular Pacing In patients unselected for DysSynchrony)
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the Scotland A Research Ethics Committee on the 15th June 2007 (ref: 3. 07/MRE00/57).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCardiac failure
InterventionThe patients will be randomised to the control and intervention groups (50% each). The patients in the intervention group will have the cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) implant.

Please note that as of 19/02/10 data collection and enrollment for this trial has now ended.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureImprovements in 6-minute walking distance (distance that the patient can walk at their own pace in 6 minutes) assessed at baseline, 6 weeks and 6 months. 20% increase in distance walked in 6 minutes, or any increase from 0 will be taken as a significant endpoint.
Secondary outcome measures1. Symptomatic improvement in quality of life at baseline, 6 weeks after intervention and 6 monthly thereafter, assessed using the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire
2. Change in N-terminal pro-beta natriuretic peptide (NT pro-BNP) and echocardiographic parameters of LV function at baseline, 6 weeks after intervention and 6 monthly thereafter. 15% decrease in end systolic volume will be taken as a significant endpoint
3. Assessing whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Dyssynchrony Index (cardiovascular magnetic resonance tissue synchronisation imaging [CMR-TSI]) predicts responders (at baseline)
4. Packer outcome at 6 weeks after intervention and 6 monthly thereafter
5. Hospitalisation will be monitored at 6 weeks after intervention and 6 monthly thereafter
6. Mortality will be monitored at 6 weeks after intervention and 6 monthly thereafter
