Summary: Although emerging evidence demonstrated that left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is a promising alternative for patients with either a bradycardia or a heart failure pacing indication. However, a direct comparison of the safety, efficacy and LV systolic synchrony between LBBP and RVP regimens was rare. In this study, the investigators aim to conduct a comparison of the safety and effectiveness perfor...

Summary: The purpose of the BIO-CONDUCT study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the BIOTRONIK Solia S pacing lead when implanted in the left bundle branch (LBB) area. Safety will be assessed by evaluating serious adverse device effects that occur through 3 months post-implant. Efficacy will be assessed by evaluating implant success rate.

Summary: The Mid-Q Response study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled, interventional, single-blinded, post-market study. The purpose of the Mid-Q Response study is to test the hypothesis that the AdaptivCRT (aCRT) algorithm is superior to standard CRT therapy regarding patient outcomes in CRT indicated patients with moderate QRS duration, preserved atrioventricular (AV) conduction and le...

Summary: Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a well-established treatment for patients with symptomatic heart failure in spite of optimised medical treatment (OMT), reduced left ventricular pump function with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35% and prolonged activation of the ventricles (bundle branch block: BBB). CRT is establ...

Summary: Heart rate variability(HRV) and electroencephalography(EEG) has been used widely in anesthetic practice nowadays. One of the most dominant applications is the nociception-analgesia balance. Some evidence support that heart rate variability correlates with perioperative stimulation and postoperative pain score. There are some new evidence support EEG correlated with anesthesia depth and analgesic b...

Summary: Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker widely used to treat cardiovascular diseases however it is also the first line treatment in the prevention of cluster headaches. In France, its prescription in that indication is based on compliance with the Temporary Recommendation for Use (RTU) that insists on the possible the cardiac side effects that can occur as the doses required for cluster headache ar...

Summary: The purpose of the study is to investigate the superiority of chronic left bundle branch area pacing compared to traditional right ventricular (RV) septal pacing in patients with high-grade conduction disease after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). In this investigator initiated, multicenter, prospective, double-blinded, crossover study, chronic left bundle branch area pacing will be ...

Summary: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with biventricular pacing (BiV) is the cornerstone treatment for heart failure patients with ventricular dyssynchrony. Recently, a new concept, conduction system pacing (CSP) with permanent pacing, including His bundle pacing and left bundle branch pacing, has been proposed as a potential alternative to conventional BiV-CRT. The prospective, randomized trial...

Summary: Fetal complete (i.e., third degree, 3°) atrioventricular block (AVB), identified in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy in an otherwise normally developing heart, is almost universally associated with maternal anti-Ro autoantibodies and results in death in a fifth of cases. To date treatment of 3° AVB has been ineffective in restoring normal rhythm (NR) which may be because current surveillance is limi...

Summary: With the aging of society, the use of cardiac pacing in patients with irreversible bradycardia is increasingly widespread. As early as the 1950s, right ventricular pacing (RVP) began to be used in patients with atrioventricular block or sick sinus syndrome, but in fact such pacing could cause ventricular asynchrony, which could lead to long-term myocardial perfusion injury, valvular regurgitation,...

Summary: The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility, accuracy and safety of performing fluoroless (or low fluoro) conduction system pacing utilizing electro-anatomic mapping (EAM) with the CARTO 3 mapping system (Biosense Webster Inc, Irvine, CA) in comparison to a group of patients undergoing conventional conduction system pacing (CSP) Implants.

Summary: The investigators aim to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of benefit of His-bundle pacing enhanced cardiac resynchronization therapy (His-CRT) vs. cardiac resynchronization therapy (BIV-CRT) in patients with heart failure and right bundle branch block (RBBB).
