Giving multipoint pacing a try for CRT nonresponders may reduce HF hospitalizations or death

06 May 2025 by

Multipoint pacing is associated with a significant reduction in HF hospitalizations or death in patients who do not respond to CRT using standard BiVP, according to a secondary analysis of the MORE-CRT MPP trial presented at EHRA 2025

LBB performs better than standard BiV pacing for CRT in chronic heart failure

17 Apr 2025 by

For chronic heart failure patients requiring cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), the use of left bundle branch (LBB) pacing yields superior clinical outcomes compared with the traditional biventricular (BiV) pacing, as shown in the results of the HeartSync-LBBP trial.
