Data on the effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with non-left bundle branch block (non-LBBB) is limited and when available has been shown to be suboptimal compared to LBBB patients. A new study presented at the 2018 Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) Scientific Sessions, May 9-12 in Boston, compared the effects of targeting the region of increased electrical delay (QLV approach) for left ventricular (LV) lead location to a standard of care (SOC) anatomical implant approach in non-LBBB patients. The comparison was assessed on the Clinical Composite Score (CCS) after 12 months of follow-up.
