ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06689111
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The present study is a multicenter interventional non randomised study in patients requiring an implantable device for cardiac resynchronization therapy. Its primary objective is to investigate whether the presence of a specific echocardiographic contraction pattern before implantation is associated with increased rates of acute improvement in myocardial function (as measured by an ultrasound) and to compare the improvement in two groups of patients based on the type of pacing (biventricular or left-sided pacing)
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
