Image Supported Lead Placement in CRT

Advanced Image Supported Lead Placement in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Apr 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established pacemaker therapy for patients with symptomatic chronic heart failure, but is hampered by a non-response rate of 30-40%. Optimising left ventricular (LV) lead placement is the cornerstone of improving treatment. The optimal location for the lead is remote from scar but within segments demonstrating late electromechanical activation. The present study aims to investigate the efficacy and clinical effect of the use of real-time guided lead placement using cardiac MRI and fluoroscopy in a blinded, multicenter, randomized controlled trial.
