RESONATE™ Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D)

The RESONATE™ HF CRT-D and RESONATE™ X4 CRT-D is a family of implantable cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) that help physicians detect heart failure early1, restore chronotropic competence, reduce costs, and improve CRT response for most patients2,3. RESONATE CRT-Ds also have long-lasting batteries, reducing the need for replacements.4

Innovative technology, powerful insights

Identify heart failure decompensation,1 increase CRT response2,3 and reduce costs3

How it works

RESONATE X4 and RESONATE HF are Boston Scientific’s most technically advanced CRT-Ds available with the following features:

 

  • Provides 8 shocks in the VF zone with the option to choose shock polarity and automatically invert shock polarity in a series of shocks

  • EnduraLife™ Battery Technology

  • HeartLogic™ Heart Failure Diagnostic

  • SmartCRT™ Technology

  • ImageReady™ MR-Conditional Systems

  • RightRate™ Minute Ventilation (available only with RESONATE HF)


Why choose RESONATE?

Extended device life

CRT-D devices with EnduraLife Battery Technology have up to 13.3 years projected longevity*, giving you the clinical freedom to make programming decisions that optimize therapy for the patient, not the device.

Actionable heart failure insights

The HeartLogic Heart Failure Diagnostic uses multiple sensors to track physiological trends, combines them into one composite index and sends a proactive alert of potential worsening heart failure.1

Tailored CRT programming

SmartCRT Technology helps you maximize patient response to CRT therapy by providing customized programming to obtain CRT response in most patients.3

RightRate Minute Ventilation

The only sensor clinically proven to restore chronotropic competence and maintain healthy heart rate variability.5,6

RightRate dual sensor adapts to changes in movement and respiration, regulating the patient's ability to increase their heart rate during exercise or other everyday activities. Hear directly from Don Hopper, an active patient, as he shares his journey with RESONATE HF in the video.

Unrestricted MRI access

Patients can safely get full body MRI scans at 1.5T or 3T with ImageReady MR-Conditional Systems devices without exclusion zone, scan duration, or patient height restrictions.7,8

 

ImageReady is compatible with the RESONATE X4 and RESONATE HF CRT-Ds. 


Prevent sudden cardiac death

All our transvenous ICDs and CRT-Ds are available to implant provide 8 shocks in the ventricular fibrillation (VF) zone, safely support programmable shock polarity, and automatically invert polarity in a series of shocks.

One in 142 patients needed more than 6 shocks to convert an episode of VT/VF9

Among leading manufacturers, shock efficacy is nearly identical for shocks 1-6 with 0.46% and 0.42% of adjudicated VT/VF episodes reaching the 6th shock.9,10 However, Boston Scientific devices provide 8 shocks in the VF zone while others only provide 6.

*The Medtronic May 2023 Advisory and associated instructions for Use warn users that AX>B pathway is not recommended due to increased risk for reduced-energy output or no-energy output during high voltage therapy. The B>AX pathway is nominal and recommended for all high-voltage pathways in the Cobalt XT, Cobalt Crome, Claria, Amplia, Compia, Viva, Brava, Visia AF, Evera, Primo, and Mirro ICDs and CRT-Ds, which are also trademarks of Medtronic and its affiliates.

Shock polarity examples

Large clinical trials show the mortality benefit of Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators (ICDs) is a result of successful shocks.11,12 See the value our transvenous ICDs and CRT-Ds deliver as they prevent sudden cardiac death in these real-world examples.

Proven cardiac care

MANAGE-HF trial

Investigated the clinical integration and safety of the FDA-approved HeartLogic™ Heart Failure Diagnostic in the management of patients with heart failure.

  • HeartLogic was safely integrated into clinical care 13

  • Early treatment augmentation was associated with more rapid recovery of the HeartLogic index compared to patients with no change in treatment following an alert13

  • HeartLogic was associated with a 67% reduction in heart failure hospitalization compared to pre-study, 12-month HF hospitalization rate14

SMART-MSP trial

The SMART-MSP clinical trial exceeded both of its end points:

  • Safety endpoint: The MultiSite Pacing (MSP) feature-related complication-free rate at 180 days post MSP was 99%

  • Effectiveness endpoint: 51% of the non-responders at 6 months converted to responders at 12 months3

NAVIGATE X4 trial

The NAVIGATE X4 trial was a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, single-arm clinical study that included 764 patients in 88 implant centers.

  • 50% of ACUITY™ X4 leads were placed in 6 minutes or less and required no reoperation due to pacing capture or thresholds

  • 77.3% of ACUITY X4 spiral leads were programmed with a proximal electrode as the pacing cathode15

PREEMPT-HF study

The PREEMPT-HF study evaluated the correlation between HeartLogic sensor data and the likelihood of readmission after hospitalization for heart failure.16 Key findings from the study were:

  • Patients in a HeartLogic alert state 14 days after hospital discharge had triple the risk of 90-day readmission for heart failure compared to those not in alert. 

  • HeartLogic trends were significantly different for patients who were readmitted following an index heart failure hospitalization compared to patients without readmissions.
