Optimization and the Impact of SyncAV: How to Optimize CRT Response for Improved Outcomes

Dr Matteo Ziacchi provides a detailed overview of SyncAV. He notes that personalised CRT is fundamental for outcome improvements and that individualisation with relatively few adjustments to the SyncAV in BIV pacing modes and LV-only fusion modes has shown a positive effect on QRS narrowing.

LBB Implant in Daily Use. Using Merlin Programmer (No 12 Lead ECG)

Dr Ermengol Valles concludes that CSP has demonstrated to be similar to CRT in reduced LVEF patients, whilst there is evidence to suggest that CSP is better than RVAP in normal LVEF patients. He notes that LBBAP could become the gold standard technique and should not be restricted to hospitals with an EP unit.

Part 8

The Role of ICD Therapy in Heart Failure in 2024 – What Is the Holistic Approach to Treat Heart Failure?

Dr Carsten W Israel concludes that ICD therapy in HF is particularly effective together with OMT, that HF death and SCD are in a competitive run (if you slow one, the other wins), and that OMT and ICD in HF are complementary, not competitive.
