Conduction System Pacing vs Biventricular Resynchronization Therapy in Systolic Dysfunction and Wide QRS: CONSYST-CRT.

To date, studies have shown that conduction system pacing could get similar clinical and echocardiographic responses to those obtained with biventricular therapy. This study will randomize 130 patients to a strategy of biventricular pacing versus conduction system pacing. CONSYST-CRT study will analyze the following parameters in the 2 groups: left ventricular ejection fraction, ventricular volumes, echocardiographic response (\>=15% decrease in left ventricular end-systolic volume), NYHA functional class, heart failure hospitalization, all-cause mortality, cardiac transplant, QRS shortening, echocardiographic asynchrony (septal flash). Clinical, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic follow-up will be performed for 1 year. The first 70 patients have been recruited in the context of the LEVELAT study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04054895)
