Why the study?

LBBAP may be an alternative to BVP for CRT, but its acute hemodynamic and ECG effects compared to BVP and LOT-CRT in advanced conduction disease needed evaluation.

Does LOT-CRT or BVP improve acute hemodynamics compared to LBBAP in CRT candidates with advanced conduction disease?

Population

48 CRT candidates with nonspecific interventricular conduction delay (n=29) or LBBB (n=19)

Comparison

BVP vs LBBAP vs LOT-CRT

Design

Multicenter acute hemodynamic testing study

Key result

In CRT candidates with advanced conduction disease, LOT-CRT and BVP provided greater acute increases in LV dP/dt max (25.8% and 26.4%) compared to unipolar LBBAP (19.3%; P≤0.005).

Overview

Suggests LOT-CRT or BVP for better acute response in CRT candidates with conduction disease; hypothesis-generating pending randomized outcome trials.

Key Points

  • To evaluate and compare the acute hemodynamic and electrocardiographic effects of left bundle-optimized cardiac resynchronization therapy (LOT-CRT), biventricular pacing (BVP), and left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) in patients with advanced conduction disease.
  • Multicenter interventional trial (NCT04905290) enrolling 48 cardiac resynchronization therapy candidates with either nonspecific interventricular conduction delay (n=29) or left bundle branch block (n=19).
  • Acute hemodynamic testing assessed relative changes in left ventricular contractility (LV dP/dt max) and QRS duration from baseline atrial pacing across unipolar LBBAP, bipolar LBBAP, BVP, and LOT-CRT configurations.
  • Increases in LV dP/dt max were significantly higher for LOT-CRT (mean, 25.8% [95% CI, 20.9%–30.7%]) and BVP (26.4% [95% CI, 20.2%–32.6%]) than unipolar LBBAP (19.3% [95% CI, 15.0%–23.7%]) or bipolar LBBAP (16.4% [95% CI, 12.7%–20.0%]; P ≤ 0.005).
  • LOT-CRT achieved significantly greater QRS shortening (29.5 ms [95% CI, 23.4–35.6]) than BVP (18.5 ms [95% CI, 11.0–25.9]), unipolar LBBAP (11.9 ms [95% CI, 6.1–17.7]), or bipolar LBBAP (11.7 ms [95% CI, 6.4–17.0]; all P ≤ 0.005).
  • In subjects with baseline QRS ≥171 ms and deep septal capture, adding coronary venous pacing to LBBAP (LOT-CRT) produced 14.5% (95% CI, 5.0%–24.1%) greater LV dP/dt max improvement and 20.8 ms (95% CI, 12.8–28.8) greater QRS narrowing compared with LBBAP alone.

Structured PICO

P
Population
48 CRT candidates with advanced conduction disease (nonspecific interventricular conduction delay or left bundle branch block) undergoing acute hemodynamic testing.
I

Main Result

In CRT candidates with advanced conduction disease, LOT-CRT and BVP provide greater acute hemodynamic benefit and QRS shortening than LBBAP alone.

Jastrzębski et al. (2024) studied Advanced conduction disease in CRT candidates (n=48). Left bundle-optimized therapy CRT (LOT-CRT) and biventricular pacing (BVP) vs. Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) was evaluated on Change in left ventricular pressure maximal first derivative (LV dP/dt max) from baseline atrial pacing (p=≤0.005). In CRT candidates with advanced conduction disease, LOT-CRT and BVP provided greater acute increases in LV dP/dt max (25.8% and 26.4%) compared to unipolar LBBAP (19.3%; P≤0.005).
