Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Investigation of a novel algorithm for synchronized left-ventricular pacing and ambulatory optimization of cardiac resynchronization therapy: results of the adaptive CRT trial.
In patients with sinus rhythm and normal atrioventricular conduction, pacing only the left ventricle with appropriate atrioventricular delays can result in superior left ventricular and right ventricular function compared with standard biventricular (BiV) pacing. ⋯ The aCRT algorithm is safe and at least as effective as BiV pacing with comprehensive echocardiographic optimization.
