Overview: I am reapplying for a 5-year Career Development Award (CDA) to support my overarching goal of studying how imaging tools can improving care of heart failure (HF) patients who require device therapy. This will be accomplished through the completion of mentored research activities and formal training designed to provide the skills necessary to become an independent investigator. During the course of my award, I will study an innovative method of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with HF who have not had an improvement in cardiac function with the standard treatment of care. I also plan to establish the feasibility of cardiac MRI to assess cardiac function over time in patients with heart failure treated with device therapy. Significance: HF is one of the most common conditions cared for by the Veterans Health Administration and has a 15% annual mortality rate in VA patients. Approximately 50% of the hospitalizations for HF occur in patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In these patients, a primary treatment goal includes strategies to increase the cardiac fraction, which has been shown to improve symptoms and decrease the risk of sudden cardiac death. In patients who also have a left bundle branch block, the main therapy has involved placing cardiac pacing leads in the right ventricle and in a cardiac vein overlying the left ventricle, referred to as CRT. However, up to 40% patients who undergo CRT fail to experience the expected improvement in cardiac function and symptoms after 6 months and are referred to as “non-responders.” This study aims to improve cardiac function in “non-responders” by pacing the heart from the left bundle branch area, thereby utilizing the heart’s intrinsic electrical system to promote coordinated ventricular contractions. The intervention developed in this CDA proposal has the potential for wide-reaching impact as it could significantly decrease the morbidity and mortality of HFrEF patients and reduce costs and burdens placed on the VA health care system. Career Plan: My primary area of research has focused on improving outcomes for patients with heart failure. To successfully achieve my goals of improving care for heart failure patients that require device therapy, I need further mentored training in implementation science including: quantitative and mixed methods training, expertise in diagnostic imaging training and research (particularly cardiac MRI), further biostatistics training, and cultivating multidisciplinary collaboration and networking skills. I will achieve these objectives through formal coursework, seminars, and mentored research activities under the guidance of primary mentors Selçuk Adabag, MD, MS (MVAHCS) and Chetan Shenoy, MBBS, MS (University of Minnesota Department of Cardiology), and secondary mentors Bradley Bart, MD (MVAHCS) and Sue Duval (University of Minnesota Department of Cardiology). The mentored research training through this grant will lay the groundwork for my long-term goal of becoming a recognized leader and researcher focused on the use of cardiac imaging to improve patient centered and clinical outcomes for patients with heart failure who require device therapy. Research Plan: My primary research objective is to assess a novel method of CRT in patient with HFrEF and LBBB, who have failed to respond to traditional CRT therapy. To execute this goal, I will complete the following: 1) a prospective, randomized-controlled study assessing the effectiveness of left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) vs continued CRT (the current gold standard) in improving cardiac function and patient symptoms, 2) assess the accuracy and feasibility of cardiac MRI in measuring cardiac function in patients with device therapy. The proposed training and research will generate preliminary data necessary for development of a future Merit award proposal to be submitted in Year 4. I plan to propose a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of the intervention evaluated in this study, which will launch my career as an independent VA CSR&D investigator committed to improving Veterans’ cardiac health though improved diagnostic and therapeutic treatment options.

概述：我正在重新申请 5 年职业发展奖 (CDA)，以支持我的总体目标： 研究成像工具如何改善需要设备治疗的心力衰竭 (HF) 患者的护理。 将通过完成指导研究活动和正式培训来实现 提供成为独立调查员所需的技能 在我的获奖过程中，我将学习。 一种针对未接受过心脏再同步治疗 (CRT) 的心力衰竭患者的创新方法 我还计划建立通过标准治疗来改善心脏功能的可行性。 心脏 MRI 用于评估接受设备治疗的心力衰竭患者随时间的心脏功能。 意义：心力衰竭是退伍军人健康管理局关注的最常见病症之一， VA 患者的年死亡率为 15%，大约 50% 的心力衰竭住院病例发生在 VA 患者中。 射血分数降低 (HFrEF) 的患者 对于这些患者，主要治疗目标包括策略。 增加心脏分数，这已被证明可以改善症状并降低突发心脏病的风险 对于同时患有左束支传导阻滞的患者，主要治疗方法是放置放置。 心脏起搏导线位于右心室和覆盖左心室的心静脉，称为 CRT。 然而，高达 40% 接受 CRT 的患者未能体验到预期的心脏功能改善 6 个月后的功能和症状被称为“无反应者”，本研究旨在改善。 通过从左束支区域起搏心脏，从而利用 心脏的内在电系统促进协调的心室收缩。 在这个 CDA 提案中，它可能会产生广泛的影响，因为它可以显着降低发病率 和 HFrEF 患者的死亡率，并减少 VA 医疗保健系统的成本和负担。 职业规划：我的主要研究领域集中于改善心力衰竭患者的治疗结果。 为了成功实现改善需要设备治疗的心力衰竭患者的护理的目标，我需要 进一步指导科学实施方面的培训，包括：定量和混合方法培训， 诊断成像培训和研究（特别是心脏 MRI）方面的专业知识、进一步的生物统计学培训、 我将通过培养多学科协作和网络技能来实现这些目标。 在主要导师 Selçuk 的指导下进行正式课程、研讨会和指导研究活动 Adabag, MD, MS (MVAHCS) 和 Chetan Shenoy, MBBS, MS（明尼苏达大学医学系） 心脏病学），以及二级导师 Bradley Bart，医学博士（MVAHCS）和 Sue Duval（明尼苏达大学） 通过这笔资助进行的指导性研究培训将为我的研究奠定基础。 长期目标是成为专注于使用心脏成像的公认领导者和研究人员 改善需要设备治疗的心力衰竭患者的以患者为中心的临床结果。 研究计划：我的主要研究目标是评估一种治疗 HFrEF 患者的新 CRT 方法 LBBB，对传统的 CRT 治疗没有反应，为了实现这个目标，我将完成以下任务。 以下：1）一项评估左束支区域有效性的前瞻性随机对照研究 起搏 (LBBAP) 与持续 CRT（当前黄金标准）在改善心功能和患者方面的比较 症状，2）评估心脏 MRI 测量患者心功能的准确性和可行性 拟议的培训和研究将产生开发所需的初步数据。 未来的优异奖提案将在第四年提交。我计划提出一个前瞻性的、多中心的、 本研究中评估的干预措施的随机对照试验，这将开启我作为一名 独立的 VA CSR&D 调查员致力于改善退伍军人的心脏健康 诊断和治疗选择。
