Choosing the Right Pacing Mode in Heart Failure - The CHOICE Trial (CHOICE)

July 7, 2017 updated by: AChoy, University of Dundee

CHOosing the rIght paCing Mode in Heart failurE : Should Heart Failure Patients With Bradycardia Receive Biventricular Pacemakers Rather Than Conventional Pacemakers?

The aim of the study is to see if biventricular pacemakers offer any advantage over conventional pacemakers in patients with heart failure who require pacemakers. The endpoints will be the 6 minute walking distance along with markers of cardiovascular function.

The investigators' hypothesis is that biventricular pacing is preferable to conventional pacing in these heart failure patients.
