Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Indication for permanent cardiac pacing: o pacing indication in structurally normal heart because of: • sinus node dysfunction (SND) • atrioventricular block (AVB) • atrial tachyarrhythmia refractory to antiarrhythmic medications that required atrioventricular node ablation o Pacing indication with reduced LV ejection fraction (LVEF) • pacing indication with reduced LVEF and expected high percentage of ventricular pacing • Heart failure with wide QRS and left bundle branch block (LBBB) and reduced LVEF
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • >2 premature ventricular complexes on standard 12-lead ECG on all ECG*s within 3 months prior to implantation. • Age
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary study parameters/endpoints: • To show superiority in electrophysiological effect (standard deviation of activation times (SDAT) measured by the ECG-Belt) of LV septum pacing over RV septum pacing in patients indicated for permanent cardiac pacing. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters/endpoints: • Comparing vectorcardiographic characteristics (QRS area) during pacing at different depths within the IVS; • Comparing electrocardiographic characteristics (QRS duration, QRS morphology) during pacing at different depths within the interventricular septum (IVS); • Comparing systolic and diastolic blood pressure (invasively measured) during pacing at different depths within the IVS; • Determine the ability to capture the left bundle in LVS pacing; • Assess global and regional LV strain patterns measured by echocardiography during LVS pacing; • Assess reverse remodelling after three months in patients undergoing deep LV septal pacing with a CRT indication. | — |
