New insights from a computational model on the relation between pacing site and CRT response

Conclusions</div>In these model simulations, the best cardiac function was obtained when pacing the mid-basal LV lateral wall, because of fastest recruitment of LV activation. This study illustrates how computer modeling can shed new light on optimizing pacing therapies for CRT. The results from this study may help to design new clinical studies to further investigate the importance of the pacing site for CRT response.</span>
