Presenter Disclosure Information
Valentina Kutyifa, MD, PhD Results From The
Prospective Registry Of Patients Using The
Wearable Defibrillator (WEARIT-II Registry)
DISCLOSURE INFORMATION The following
relationships exist related to this
presentation WEARIT-II was supported by ZOLL.

Results From The Prospective Registry Of
Patients Using The Wearable Defibrillator
(WEARIT-II Registry)
  • Valentina, Kutyifa, MD, PhD, Ilan
    Goldenberg, MD, Wojciech Zareba, MD, PhD, Helmut
    Klein, MD, Chingping Wan, MD, Bonnie MacKecknie,
    Mark L. Andrews, MS, Steve Szymkiewicz, MD and
    Arthur J. Moss, MD
  • From the Cardiology Division of the Department
    of Medicine (VK, IG, WZ, HK, BM, MLA, AJM),
    University of Rochester Medical Center,
    Rochester, N.Y. Sheba Medical Center and Tel
    Aviv University, Israel (IG) and ZOLL,
    Pittsburgh, PA (SS, CW)

Background Current Guidelines for Primary ICD
Therapy
  • EF 35
  • High-risk inherited arrhythmias
  • AHA/ACC/HRS 2012 Guidelines

0.64
4
BACKGROUND NEED FOR IMPROVED SELECTION OF
PATIENTS FOR PRIMARY ICD THERAPY
  • MADIT-II
  • Only one third of pts received appropriate ICD
    therapy over 4 years of FU
  • Moss et al. NEJM 2002
  • MADIT-RIT
  • ICD programing to lt200 bpm is associated with
    increased risk for inappropriate Rx and mortality
  • Rate of appropriate ICD shocks was only 4 (event
    rate 3 appr. ICD shocks per 100 pt-yrs)
  • Moss et al. NEJM 2012

5
LIFEVEST WEARABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATOR (WCD)
  • Can be used to bridge a decision for appropriate
    ICD therapy in
  • Post-MI pts
  • Following coronary revascularization
  • New onset dilated (non-ischemic) CMP
  • High risk patients until stabilization
  • Inherited arrhythmic or congenital disorders
  • Availability of response button can be used to
    reduce inappropriate Rx

6
Study Purpose
  • To provide prospective data on the safety and
    efficacy of a bridging strategy with the WCD in a
    real world setting

7
WEARIT-II REGISTRY DESIGN
  • WCD (LifeVest) prescription in the US
  • Informed consent
  • Acquisition of baseline clinical data
  • Wearing time 3 months
  • Clinical and Arrhythmic event acquisition
  • WCD return end of use evaluation
  • 12 month FU

8
STUDY POPULATION
  • N 2000 patients enrolled in the US
  • Currently enrolling patients in Europe, Israel
  • Study duration August 2011 December 2013
  • Data management University of Rochester
  • Ischemic cardiomyopathy 805 pts, 40.3
  • Non-ischemic CMP 927 pts, 46.4
  • Cong/inherited 268 pts, 13.4

9
CONGENITAL,INHERITED HEART DISEASE
  • Initial diagnosis at baseline (n268, 13.4)

Allows for multiple diagnoses.

CONCLUSIONS
  • In a real world setting a management strategy
    that incorporates the WCD can be safely used to
    bridge a decision for appropriate ICD therapy in
    patients with acquired, inherited, and
    congenital, heart disease
  • Safe termination of life-threatening arrhythmic
    events
  • Low rate of inappropriate therapies
  • Risk assessment tool to identify patients at
    higher risk for SCD who need subsequent ICD
    implantation
