COMPArison of Multi-Point Pacing and ConvenTional CRT Through Non-invasive Hemodynamics Measurement: Short and Long Term Results of the COMPACT-MPP Study
Invasive hemodynamic studies have demonstrated improved left ventricular (LV) performances when cardiac resynchronization therapy/defibrillator (CRT-D) is delivered through multi-point pacing (MPP). Nowadays, strategies that allow to study the same hemodynamic parameters at a non-invasive level have become available. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical implication of using a patient-tailored approach for CRT programming based on non-invasively assessed LV hemodynamics to identify the best biventricular pacing modality between standard single-site pacing (STD) and MPP for each patient.
