Key result
Targeted left ventricular lead placement and multisite pacing strategies may improve cardiac resynchronization therapy response in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction.
Why the study?
Do advanced LV lead placement strategies and multisite/multipolar pacing improve response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction?
Do advanced LV lead placement strategies and multisite/multipolar pacing improve response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction?
Optimizing CRT delivery through targeted lead placement, alternative delivery methods, and multisite/multipolar pacing holds promise for reducing the ~30% non-response rate in carefully selected heart failure patients.

May reduce CRT non-response; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
Martens et al. (2015) conducted a review in Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) optimization vs. Conventional CRT was evaluated. Targeted left ventricular lead placement and multisite pacing strategies may improve cardiac resynchronization therapy response in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction.
