Recommendations for CHD
| COR | LOE | Recommendations | References |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2a | C-LD | 1. In patients with CHD on GDMT with a systemic LV, LVEF <45%, and ventricular dyssynchrony (as defined by a QRS duration z score of ≥3 or ventricular pacing ≥40%), CRT with BiV pacing is reasonable to reduce the risk of mortality or need for transplant. | 400–408 |
| 2a | C-LD | 2. In patients with CHD and a systemic single ventricle who require pacing, apical pacing is reasonable in preference to nonapical pacing. | 409 |
| 2b | C-LD | 3. In patients with CHD and a systemic single ventricle with symptomatic HF on GDMT, CRT with multisite ventricular pacing may be considered to maintain functional class or ventricular function. | 400,402,410,411 |
| 2b | C-LD | 4. In patients with CHD and a systemic RV with symptomatic HF on GDMT associated with ventricular electrical delay or requiring substantial ventricular pacing, CRT with BiV pacing may be considered to improve or maintain functional class or ventricular function. | 400–408,412–415 |
| 2b | C-LD | 5. In patients with CHD and a subpulmonary RV with RV dysfunction and RBBB, CRT with fusion-based pacing may be considered to improve RV function. | 416–418 |
| 2b | C-LD | 6. In patients with CCTGA and AV block in whom anatomic repair has not been performed, CSP with HBP or LBBAP may be considered to improve functional status. | 419,420 |
