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.

In a new study, cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) therapy was confirmed to significantly improve exercise tolerance (ET) and quality of life (QoL) for patients with persistent symptomatic heart failure and an ejection fraction between 25 and 45 percent. Results of the prospective FIX-HF-5C Study were presented at the 2018 Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) Scientific Sessions, May 9-12 in Boston.

A new study published in JAMA Cardiology used the Zio continuous cardiac monitoring system by iRhythm to provide a comprehensive picture of the burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients. Utilizing this data in combination with electronic health record data, the researchers concluded that an increase in AF burden is independently associated with a higher risk of ischemic stroke and arterial thromboembolism in patients who are not taking anticoagulant medication.
