Novel active fixation lead guided by electrical delay can improve response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure.

The novel active fixation LV lead allowed to target sites with greater QLV. Often maximum QLV was documented in basal segments, were stability of conventional passive fixation leads is not enough. Patients receiving it experienced less HF rehospitalizations and less death due to HF. Active fixation lead in CS guided by QLV can improve long-term prognosis in patients with HF due to coronary artery disease undergoing to CRT.
