Key result
His bundle pacing improves left ventricular diastolic function in patients with heart failure with preserved systolic function.
Why the study?
Evidence guiding treatment for diastolic heart failure is limited, while cardiac resynchronization therapy can improve diastolic dysfunction in heart failure with systolic dysfunction.
Does His bundle pacing improve left ventricular diastolic function in patients with heart failure with preserved systolic function?
Does His bundle pacing improve left ventricular diastolic function in patients with heart failure with preserved systolic function?
His bundle pacing may improve left ventricular diastolic function in patients with heart failure with preserved systolic function.

May improve LV diastolic function with His bundle pacing in HFpEF; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is highly effective for patients with left bundle branch block, heart failure, and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. In heart failure patients with systolic dysfunction, CRT can also improve diastolic dysfunction.1 Evidence guiding diastolic heart failure treatment is limited.2
