Correlation of Typical LBBB Mechanical Activation Pattern by 2D Strain Echocardiography With Acute GWE Improvement in Patients Receiving LBBp or Conventional BiVp for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (Echo LBBp)
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF)
In brief
The present study is a multicenter interventional non randomised study in patients requiring an implantable device for cardiac resynchronization therapy. Its primary objective is to investigate whether the presence of a specific echocardiographic contraction pattern before implantation is associated with increased rates of acute improvement in myocardial function (as measured by an ultrasound) and to compare the improvement in two groups of patients based on the type of pacing (biventricular or left-sided pacing)

You may qualify if…
- >18 years < 90 years
- Patients with a documented indication for resynchronization therapy [symptomatic patients despite optimal medication, HFrEF (EF<35%), LBBB QRS morphology]
- COMPLETE LBBB (LBBB defined as QRS>130msec, wide "notched or slurred" R wave in leads I, aVL, V5, V6 and occasional RS pattern in V5, V6, absence of Q waves in leads I, V5 and V6 but in lead aVL narrow Q wave may be present in the absence of myocardial pathology, R peak time >60ms in leads V5 and V6 but normal in leads V1, V2, V3 when small R's are discernible in precardial leads, ST and T usually opposite to QRS direction)
- Patients with ntraventricular septum diameter >8 mm
- Written informed consent
You may not qualify if…
