The role of ultra-high-frequency ECG in the localization of left ventricular conduction disorders and prediction of response to resynchronization therapy

The main objective of the project is to demonstrate that in patients with heart failure and QRS complex of nonRBBB morphology lasting over 130 ms, UHF-ECG can differentiate patients with trueLBBB from IVCD better than existing approaches based on the assessment of QRS complex morphology and duration from 12- lead ECG. Another goal of the proposed study is to demonstrate that trueLBBB patients will benefit more from CRT using left bundle branch pacing than from CRT using biventricular pacing. The final aim of the project is to demonstrate that the echocardiographic and clinical response in patients with intraventricular conduction disturbance will be dependent on the degree of reduction in ventricular dyssynchrony after CRT.
