Left Vs Left

Clinical Trial Title

Cardiac resynchronization therapy using His/Left bundle pacing vs left ventricular epicardial pacing in patients with heart failure with LVEF <50% and a wide QRS complex (>130 ms) or with/anticipated >40% pacing

National Clinical Trial Number:

NCT05650658

Clinical Trial Protocol Description:

The objective of this study is to assess the comparative effectiveness of His/LBBP concerning patient-centered outcomes, including quality of life (QoL), physical activity, heart failure (HF) hospitalization, and mortality. Additionally, the study aims to evaluate the comparative safety of His/LBBP in terms of device-related complications and re-interventions (such as lead dislodgement and infection) compared to the standard of care Biventricular Pacing (BiVP).

Clinical Trial Eligibility Criteria:

In order to participate you must meet the following criteria:

  • Are 18 years of age or older.
  • Have a LVEF ≤ 50% within 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • Have resting QRS duration ≥130 ms as evidenced by a historical 12-lead ECG prior to enrollment OR anticipated right ventricular pacing >40% OR device in place with right ventricular pacing > 40%.
  • Are optimized on HF guideline directed medical therapy according to current HF published guidelines.

You will be excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply to you:

  • Are pregnant, lactating, or plan to become pregnant during the course of the trial.
  • Have had coronary artery bypass graft surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention (balloon and/or stent angioplasty) within the past three (3) months prior to enrollment.
  • Have Chagas disease, cardiac sarcoidosis, or amyloidosis.
  • Are expected to receive left ventricular assist device or heart transplantation within 6 months.
  • Have severe valvular disease (e.g., aortic stenosis).
  • Have a life expectancy of less than 12 months.
