Vector selection of a quadripolar left ventricular pacing lead affects acute hemodynamic response to cardiac resynchronization therapy: a randomized cross-over trial.

BACKGROUND: A suboptimal left ventricular (LV) pacing site may account for non-responsiveness of patients to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The vector selection of a novel quadripolar LV pacing lead, which was mainly developed to overcome technical issues with stimulation thresholds and ph...
