Key result
Intracardiac electrogram-based CRT optimization significantly decreased left ventricular dyssynchrony (P<0.001) and improved ejection fraction (P<0.001) compared to baseline.
Why the study?

IEGM-based CRT optimization may ease clinical workflow; leaves open impact on hard outcomes versus standard programming.
Porciani et al. (2007) studied Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) (n=20). Intracardiac electrogram (IEGM)-based CRT optimization vs. Baseline (before optimization) was evaluated on Left ventricular asynchrony (Tmsv 16-SD) and performance (ejection fraction) (p=<0.001). Intracardiac electrogram-based CRT optimization significantly decreased left ventricular dyssynchrony (P<0.001) and improved ejection fraction (P<0.001) compared to baseline.
