His Bundle Pacing Versus Coronary Sinus Pacing for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CRT Pacemaker for Congestive Heart Failure. Completed, enrolled 41 participants across 8 sites.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this study is to compare the effectiveness of pacing from a physiologic His bundle (HB) lead position versus with the standard coronary sinus (CS) lead position in subjects with heart failure undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). While placement of left ventricular leads via the coronary sinus has anatomic limitations, we hypothesis that the achievement of QRS narrowing with His bundle capture will be superior for improving systolic function by echocardiographic indices (ejection fraction and strain) and quality of life and decreased rehospitalization and mortality.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is the use of a pacemaker with two endocardial leads placed in the right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV). The third lead is traditionally placed in a tributary of the coronary sinus (CS) overlying the epicardial surface of the left ventricle (LV). Alternatively, the third lead may be positioned based on mapping of the common His bundle and actively fixed to achieve QRS normalization via direct His bundle capture.
