COMPArison of Multi-Point Pacing and ConvenTional Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Through Noninvasive Hemodynamics Measurement: Short- and Long-Term Results of the COMPACT-MPP Study

Invasive hemodynamic studies have shown improved left ventricular (LV) performances when cardiac resynchronization therapy/defibrillator is delivered through multipoint pacing (MPP). Nowadays, strategies have become available that allow studying the same hemodynamic parameters at a noninvasive level. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical implication of using a patient-tailored approach for cardiac resynchronization therapy programming based on noninvasively assessed LV hemodynamics to identify the best biventricular pacing modality between standard single-site pacing (STD) and MPP for each patient.
