Optimal LV lead position may enhance CRT response; leaves open whether non-LBBB independently reduces benefit in randomized settings.
Do optimal left ventricular lead position and LBBB morphology improve response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure and wide QRS complex?
Optimal left ventricular lead position and LBBB morphology are independent predictors of positive clinical and echocardiographic response to CRT in heart failure patients.
