LVSP Based CRT vs. RVAP Based CRT

August 3, 2023 updated by: Li Xiaofei, Fu Wai Hospital, Beijing, China

Left Ventricular Septal Pacing Based Rescue CRT Versus Right Ventricular Apical Pacing Based CRT for Chronic Heart Failure: a Randomized Controlled Trial

To find out whether left ventricular septal pacing (LVSP)-based cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is superior to right ventricular apical pacing (RVAP)-based CRT in patients with failed left bundle branch pacing at the beginning of chronic heart failure.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Chronic heart failure, LVEF ≤35% after at least 3 months of guideline-optimized drug therapy, NYHA class II-IV with complete left bundle branch block (QRSd≥130 ms), OR Atrioventricular block with LVEF ≤ 50% with the indication of cardiac pacing; 3. Age between 18 and 90 years old; 4. The expected survival period is greater than 12 months; 5. Signed the informed consent form for the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Previous mechanical tricuspid valve replacement.
  2. Previous pacemaker or other devices implanted and for device replacement or upgrading for this time.
  3. Patients have a history of unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction, CABG, and PCI surgery within three months.
  4. Persistent atrial fibrillation without AV block, the proportion of biventricular pacing is not expected to less than 95%.
  5. Patients participated in any of the other studies at the same time, which may confound the results of this study.
  6. Pregnancy, planning to become pregnant.

8. Patients with a history of heart transplantation.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: LVSP-CRT
Patients received LVSP based CRT implantation; LVSP, left ventricular septal pacing; CRT, cardiac resynchronization therapy.
For left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) failure cases, use left ventricular septal pacing instead of LBBP; others were same as traditional CRT.
Active Comparator: RVAP-CRT
Patients received RVAP based CRT implantation; RVAP, right ventricular apical pacing; CRT, cardiac resynchronization therapy.
For left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) failure cases, use right ventricular apical pacing instead of LBBP; others were same as traditional CRT.
