Is right ventricular septal (RVS) pacing non-inferior to right ventricular apical (RVA) pacing for left ventricular reverse remodelling in heart failure patients receiving a CRT-defibrillator?
This study investigates whether right ventricular septal pacing is non-inferior to apical pacing for left ventricular reverse remodelling in patients receiving CRT-defibrillators.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a recommended treatment of heart failure (HF) patients with depressed left ventricular ejection fraction and wide QRS. The optimal right ventricular (RV) lead position being a matter of debate, we sought to examine whether RV septal (RVS) pacing was not inferior to RV apical (RVA) pacing on left ventricular reverse remodelling in patients receiving a CRT-defibrillator.
Leclercq et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
