Filter by:This study aims to investigate whether the investigators can improve heart function in patients with heart failure who have undergone cardiac resynchronization therapy, but have not had an improvement in their heart function at least one year after the procedure. The investigators will evaluate whether placing a new pacing lead (electrode) in a different part of the heart may increase heart function and decrease heart failure symptoms.
Right ventricular (RV) pacing can cause left ventricular systolic dysfunction in 10- 20% of patients. Biventricular pacing had previously been shown to prevent left ventricular systolic dysfunction. However, implantation of coronary sinus lead increases procedural risk and can be limited by higher threshold and phrenic nerve capture. HIS pacing has been evaluated as an alternative pacing strategy, but its routine use was limited by difficulty of the procedure, success rate and high pacing threshold. Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is a promising physiologic pacing technique that has been proposed as a pacing strategy to prevent pacing induced cardiomyopathy and for treatment of desynchrony in heart failure. LBBAP has been adopted widely and performed routinely on patients with AV block. Currently, it is up to the discretion of the proceduralist whether LBBAP is performed given that there is lack of evidence to guide pacing strategies.
The PROTECT-HF multi-centre randomised controlled trial will compare two different pacing approaches for treating patients with slow heart rates. In it the investigators will compare a long-standing standard approach for pacing; right ventricular pacing, with a new form of pacing, physiological pacing (His and Left bundle area pacing) in 2600 patients. Patients will be allocated at random to receive either right ventricular pacing or physiological pacing. Endpoint measurements will be undertaken at baseline, and at six-monthly intervals post-randomisation. Treatment allocation will be blinded to the endpoint assessor and the patient. Recruitment and pacemaker implantation will be carried out at each participating centre. The primary analysis will be intention to treat. The investigators will also perform an on-treatment analysis. 2048 patients are needed to detect the expected effect size with 85% power. A total of 2600 patients will be recruited to allow for patient drop-out and crossover. 500-patient sub-study will assess within patient, and between groups, echocardiographic changes over a 24-month period to try and improve mechanistic understanding of PICM (Pacing Induced Cardiomyopathy).
PROTECT-SYNC study is a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial. A total of 7 medical centers across Republic of Korea will enroll 450 patients during 2 years of enrollment period, and followed for 2 years of follow-up period. The purpose of this study to compare the clinical outcomes of Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing (LBBAP) compared to Right Ventricular Pacing (RVP) in bradyarrhythmia patients who require high burden of ventricular pacing (>40%).
This is a multicenter, randomized controlled study. This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of LBBAP with traditional biventricular pacing in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and heart Failure
This is a multicenter, randomized controlled study. The aim of this study is to compare the impact of LBBAP on left ventricular function as compared with traditional right ventricular pacing in patients with atrioventricular block.
Right ventricular pacing (RVP) causes left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony by inducing electrical interventricular and intraventricular dyssynchrony. His bundle pacing may restore the the atrioventricular, interventricular and intraventricular electrical synchronization, however, Increased pacing threshold might result in the early depletion of the pacemaker, and finally brought on pacemaker replacement, which was one of the major causes of device infection. Pacing the left bundle branch beyond the conduction block site might achieve a low and stable output and narrow QRSd. The investigators were prepared to consecutively include patients with atrioventricular block, divided into the left bundle branch area pacing(LBBAP) group and the conventional right ventricular pacing group. The electrophysiological characteristics of LBBAP and right ventricular pacing were compared with ECG characteristics. The left and right ventricular synchrony and left and right cardiac function were evaluated by 3D ultrasound, and the short-term and long-term safety and efficacy of LBBAP were evaluated.
