Does electrically guided left ventricular lead placement improve change in LVEF, LV reverse remodelling and clinical response compared to imaging-guided placement in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy?
Electrically guided LV lead placement during CRT implantation appears non-inferior to imaging-guided placement regarding LV reverse remodeling and clinical response.
Electrically guided CRT implantation appeared non-inferior to an imaging-guided strategy considering the outcomes of change in LVEF, LV reverse remodelling and clinical response. Larger long-term studies are warranted to investigate the effect of an electrically guided CRT strategy.
Stephansen et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
