TABLE 1.
Summary of different pacing options for CRT non-responders.
| Pacing option | Evidence summary for CRT non-responders |
|---|---|
| AV/VV delay optimisation | Small observational studies—conflicting data Jansen et al., 2006; Ellenbogen et al., 2010; Brabham and Gold, (2013); AlTurki et al., 2019 |
| Multi-point pacing (MPP) | MORE-CRT RCT—no benefit in MPP Leclercq et al., 2019 |
| Multi-site pacing (MSP) | Mechanistic studies—Acute haemodynamic benefit in of MSP in acute haemodynamic non-responders to conventional CRT. Ploux et al., 2014; Sohal et al., 2015; Heckman et al., 2020 No larger studies as yet. |
| LV endocardial pacing | Small observational studies—Lead-based and leadless endocardial pacing may achieve echocardiographic and clinical response in a significant proportion of non-responders. (van Gelder et al., 2016; Sidhu et al., 2020 SOLVE-CRT study ongoing |
| Conduction system pacing | Observational studies—HBP, LBP, HOT-CRT and LOT-CRT may give potential improvements in electrical resynchronisation obtained by preserving intrinsic RV activation, yet to be demonstrated in a non-responder population.
