TL;DR: This expert consensus statement task force was set down to raise awareness of using the right risk assessment tool for a given outcome in a given population, and to provide physicians with practical proposals that may lead to rational and evidence-based risk assessment and improvement of patient care in this regard.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: ECG-based atrio-ventricular delay optimization using SyncAV significantly improved electrical synchrony in patients with a previously implanted CRT and further studies are needed to assess the impact on long-term outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fusion pacing in patients with right bundle branch block who undergo cardiac resynchronization therapy.

TL;DR: CRT programed to allow biventricular fusion pacing significantly improved electrical synchrony and LVEF in patients with RBBB and larger studies are required to confirm these findings.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: CRT reprogramming to maximize biventricular fusion pacing significantly increased LVEF and reduced LVESV in patients with chronic CRT devices and further studies are needed to assess if a continuous fusion pacing algorithm improves long-term clinical outcomes.
