In the second part of this 2-part series on pacemakers, we present recent advances in
pacemakers and preview future developments. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) using a biventricular pacing system has been an
effective therapeutic strategy in patients with symptomatic heart failure with a reduced left …

Abstract Objectives: The MultiPoint Pacing (MPP) trial assessed the safety and efficacy of
pacing 2 left ventricular sites with a quadripolar lead in patients with heart failure indicated …

Aims This registry was created to describe the experience of 76 Italian centres with a large
cohort of recipients of multipoint pacing (MPP) capable cardiac resynchronization therapy …

Abstract Background Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is one of the few effective
treatments for heart failure patients with ventricular dyssynchrony. The pacing location of the …

Initial efforts to artificially stimulate the heart were borne out of a necessity to prevent
catastrophic bradycardic events. The initial pacemaker systems were large, bulky external …

Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a successful strategy for heart
failure (HF) patients. The pre-requisite for the response is the evidence of electrical …

Introduction Multipoint pacing (MPP) has been proposed as an effective way to improve
cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) response. We performed a systematic review and …

Objectives: This study aimed to compare multipoint pacing (MPP) to optimal biventricular
pacing with a quadripolar left ventricular (LV) lead and find factors associated with …

Introduction Recent efforts to increase CRT response by multiSPOT pacing (MSP) from
multiple bipols on the same left ventricular lead are still inconclusive. Aim The Left …
