In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Left bundle branch block (LBBB) exists in about 25% of patients with congestive heart failure and is associated with worsened prognosis. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been one of the most important advancements in the past two decades for patients with LBBB heart failure. However, 30-40% of patients receiving a CRT do not benefit from it. In this study, the investigators will test a noninvasive device to evaluate acute effect of CRT during implantation and at follow-up CRT controls. In addition, echocardiography will be performed during CRT turned ON and OFF to visualize the changes in intraventricular flow and functional parameters of the heart.
