Two multicenter trials drew different conclusions about the value of conduction system relative to biventricular pacing for left bundle branch block in heart failure.
A 173-patient randomized trial in HFrEF (LVEF ≤35%) with LBBB (QRS ≥130 ms) showed CSP was inferior to BiVP for a hierarchical 12‑month composite endpoint. Worse outcomes with CSP were reflected by an ...
The findings suggest that use of the pacing technique during CRT should be reserved for expert operators, at least for now.
Patients with indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) have better clinical outcomes when they undergo left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) rather than conventional biventricular ...
A recent study added to the growing body of evidence supporting an expansion of the indication for a promising pacing strategy among patients with a substantial ventricular pacing burden. “I think the ...
Studies recently carried out at the University Hospital of the University of Navarra show that cardiac resynchronisation therapy using pacemakers and defibrillators improves the survival and quality ...
