Purpose

The investigators aim to prospectively test the comparative effectiveness of His or Left bundle branch pacing in relation to patient centered outcomes (quality of life, physical activity, heart failure hospitalization, mortality) and comparative safety in relation to device-related complications and re-interventions (e.g., lead dislodgement, infection) relative to standard of care biventricular pacing in patients with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVEF≤50%) and with either a wide QRS (≥130 ms) or with/anticipated >40% pacing who are already receiving current standard heart failure pharmacological therapy.

Active Comparator
His/Left Bundle Branch Pacing (His/LBBP)
Patients with LVEF≤35% at entry will receive a His/LBB defibrillator which includes implantation of three leads, an endocardial right atrial lead, an endocardial right ventricular ICD lead, and an endocardial His-bundle or left bundle branch pacing lead directly pacing the intrinsic conduction system. Patients with LVEF 36-50% at entry will receive His/LBB pacemaker which includes implantation of two leads, an endocardial right atrial lead, and an endocardial His-bundle or left bundle branch pacing lead directly pacing the intrinsic conduction system.
  • Device: His/LBBP
    Pacing at the level His-Bundle or left bundle branch is used to correct the underlying conduction abnormality, resulting in a faster and more homogeneous activation of the heart pacing directly via the intrinsic conduction system of the heart accompanied by a right atrial endocardial lead and a right ventricular defibrillator endocardial lead for LVEF≤35% and by a right atrial endocardial lead for LVEF 36-50%.
Active Comparator
Biventricular Pacing (BiVP)
Patients with LVEF≤35% at entry will receive a BiV defibrillator which includes implantation of three leads, an endocardial right atrial lead, an endocardial right ventricular ICD lead, and and an epicardial left ventricular lead implanted in a branch of the coronary sinus. Patients with LVEF 36-50% at entry will receive BiV pacemaker which includes implantation of three leads, an endocardial right atrial lead, an endocardial right ventricular pacing lead, and and an epicardial left ventricular lead implanted in a branch of the coronary sinus.
  • Device: BiVP
    Biventricular pacing has been shown to improve outcomes by delivering synchronized electrical stimuli to the right and left ventricles utilizing an an endocardial right atrial lead, an endocardial right ventricular lead, and an epicardial left ventricular lead implanted in a branch of the coronary sinus. For LVEF≤35% a biventricular pacemaker-defibrillator will be implanted while for LVEF 36-50% a biventricular pacemaker will be implanted.

Detailed Description

In this prospective, randomized, multi-center clinical trial, the investigators aim to prospectively evaluate the comparative effectiveness His or Left bundle branch pacing (His/LBBP) vs. biventricular pacing (BiVP) in patients with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVEF≤50%) and with either a wide QRS (≥130 ms) or with/anticipated >40% pacing who are already receiving current standard heart failure pharmacological therapy by assessing all cause death and heart failure hospitalization at the end of the study. Additional formal secondary objectives include evaluation disease-specific quality and psychological adjustment changes at 1 year after device implant and evaluation of a composite of death of any cause or heart failure hospitalization or more >15% increase in the left ventricular end-systolic volume index at the end of the study.

Notice

Study information shown on this site is derived from ClinicalTrials.gov (a public registry operated by the National Institutes of Health). The listing of studies provided is not certain to be all studies for which you might be eligible.
