Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Scheduled for implantation of an MPP-enabled SJM Quadripolar CRT Pacing System * QRS duration \> 140 ms * Left bundle branch block documented * Ability to provide informed consent for study participation * Willing to comply with the study evaluation requirements * At least 18 years of age
Exclusion criteria
* Resting ventricular rate \>100 bpm * Intrinsic PR interval \> 300 ms * Paroxysmal or persistent atrial tachycardia or atrial fibrillation documented * A recent myocardial infarction, ablation, drug intoxication, electrolyte imbalance, or any condition within the last 90 days that would be contraindicated for CRT programming changes in the opinion of the investigator * Women who are pregnant or who plan to become pregnant during the study
Design outcomes
Primary

|---|---|---|
| Acute change in QRS duration due to CRT with NAVH, relative to intrinsic conduction | 1 day | Acute changes in surface ECG QRS duration resulting from Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) with Negative Atrioventricular Hysteresis (NAVH) over a range of programmable values |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Acute changes in LV pressure-volume hemodynamics due to CRT with NAVH, relative to intrinsic conduction | 1 day | Acute changes in left ventricular pressure-volume hemodynamics resulting from Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy with Negative Atrioventricular Hysteresis over a range of programmable values |
| Change in QRS duration after one day of CRT with NAVH, relative to intrinsic conduction | 1 day | Changes in surface ECG QRS duration after one day of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy with Negative Atrioventricular Hysteresis |
