Key result
New RCT protocol evaluates whether LBBAP improves LVEF compared to RVAP.
Why the study?
No randomised controlled trials have evaluated the efficacy and safety of left bundle branch area pacing compared with right ventricular apex pacing in patients with atrioventricular block.
Does left bundle branch area pacing improve left ventricular ejection fraction compared to right ventricular apex pacing in patients with atrioventricular block?
RCT (n=210)
1:1 ratio
No
Does left bundle branch area pacing improve left ventricular ejection fraction compared to right ventricular apex pacing in patients with atrioventricular block?
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
This study protocol outlines a randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether left bundle branch area pacing is superior to right ventricular apex pacing for preserving left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with atrioventricular block.
Wang et al. (2021) conducted an RCT in Atrioventricular block (AVB) (n=210). Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBaP) vs. Right ventricular apex pacing (RVAP) was evaluated on Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). This study protocol outlines a randomized controlled superiority trial of 210 patients to evaluate whether left bundle branch area pacing improves LVEF compared to right ventricular apex pacing.
