In this study, an individualized multimodality imaging-guided strategy targeting LV lead placement towards the latest mechanically activated non-scarred myocardial segment during CRT implantation did not reduce HF hospitalization or all-cause death when compared with routine LV lead placement during long-term follow-up. Targeting the latest electrical activation should be studied as an alternative individualized strategy for optimizing LV lead placement in CRT recipients.
