Small decreases in biventricular pacing percentages are associated with multiple metrics of worsening heart failure as measured from a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator

Lower BiVentricular (BiV) pacing percentages have been associated with significantly worse survival in patients with chronic heart failure (HF). However, the pathophysiology behind this observation has not been further delineated. This analysis evaluated whether small incremental decreases in BiV pacing percentages were associated with worse measures, related to HF physiology using individual sensor trends and the HeartLogic composite index.
