The Lead Episode 82: A Discussion of Conduction System Pacing Compared to Biventricular Pacing for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Patients with Heart Failure and Mildly Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction-The Lead Episode 82

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The episode of "The Lead," recorded at the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society meeting, discusses a study comparing conduction system pacing with biventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization in heart failure patients. Conducted by the I-Class Group, this retrospective study involves about 1,000 patients. Results suggest that conduction system pacing may reduce heart failure hospitalization and mortality by 50% compared to biventricular pacing. However, the study is non-randomized, highlighting the need for further randomized trials to validate these findings. Experts underscore the study's importance for improving pacing techniques and outcomes.
