Two multicenter trials drew different conclusions about the value of conduction system relative to biventricular pacing for left bundle branch block in heart failure.
The findings suggest that use of the pacing technique during CRT should be reserved for expert operators, at least for now.
LBBB is linked to electrical abnormalities, causing inefficient heart pumping, dilation, and systolic dysfunction. The study found LBBB associated with increased heart failure risk, surpassing other ...
PHILADELPHIA, PA—For patients treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy, use of left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) appears to lower arrhythmic risk compared with conventional biventricular ...
Cardiac physiologic pacing, also known as cardiac resynchronization therapy, is indicated in patients with heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% or less, and either a ...
BOSTON -- Early cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) benefited patients with moderately reduced ejection fraction (EF) and left bundle branch block (LBBB) but no indication for pacing, according to ...
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EBR Systems, Inc., developer of the world’s only wireless cardiac pacing system for heart failure, today announced that Professor Pascal Defaye, Head of Rhythmology ...
New-onset LBBB following TAVR is associated with increased 1-year mortality, rehospitalization, and permanent pacemaker implantation.
