Two multicenter trials drew different conclusions about the value of conduction system relative to biventricular pacing for left bundle branch block in heart failure.

CRT is a surgical procedure in which doctors implant a pacemaker in both the right and left sides of the heart to help your heart’s chambers beat together. The goal is to improve heart pumping ...

A 173-patient randomized trial in HFrEF (LVEF ≤35%) with LBBB (QRS ≥130 ms) showed CSP was inferior to BiVP for a hierarchical 12‑month composite endpoint. Worse outcomes with CSP were reflected by an ...

The findings suggest that use of the pacing technique during CRT should be reserved for expert operators, at least for now.

Sarasota Memorial Hospital is part of a global research effort on an option to traditional cardiac resynchronization therapy.

The Resynchronization–Defibrillation for Ambulatory Heart Failure Trial (RAFT) showed a greater benefit with respect to mortality at 5 years among patients who received cardiac-resynchronization ...

St. Francis has been recognized nationally for its leadership in clinical excellence and research integrity, earning a Tier 1 Scholarship.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy has been shown to benefit patients with heart failure despite optimal medical therapy, but the effect on long-term outcomes is unknown. New research findings are ...
