Sex Differences in Long-Term Outcomes With Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Mild Heart Failure Patients With Left Bundle Branch Block.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have shown conflicting results regarding the benefit of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) by sex and QRS duration.In the Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial With Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (MADIT-CRT), we evaluated long-term clinical outcome of heart failure (HF) or death, death, and HF alone by sex and QRS duration (dichotomized at 150 ms) in left bundle-branch block patients with CRT with defibrillator backup (CRT-D) versus implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) only. There were 394 women (31%) and 887 men with left bundle-branch block. During the median follow-up of 5.6 years, women derived greater clinical benefit from CRT-D compared with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator only, with a significant 71% reduction in HF or death (hazard ratio [HR] 0.29, P<0.001) and a 77% reduction in HF alone (HR 0.23, P<0.001) compared with men, who had a 41% reduction in HF or death (HR 0.59, P<0.001) and a 50% reduction in HF alone (HR 0.50, P<0.001) (all sex-by-treatment interaction P<0.05). Men and women had similar reduction in long-term mortality with CRT-D versus implantable cardioverter-defibrillator only (men: HR 0.70, P=0.03; women: HR 0.59, P=0.04). The incremental benefit of CRT-D in women for HF or death and HF alone was consistent with QRS <150 or >150 ms.During long-term follow-up of mild HF patients with left ventricular dysfunction and wide QRS, both women and men with left bundle-branch block derived sustained benefit from CRT-D versus implantable cardioverter-defibrillator only, with significant reduction in HF or death, HF alone, and all-cause mortality regardless of QRS duration. There is an incremental benefit with CRT-D in women for the end points of HF or death and HF alone.URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/. Unique identifiers: NCT00180271, NCT01294449, and NCT02060110.

Project description:AimsThe purpose of our study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) via left bundle branch pacing (LBBP-CRT) compared with optimized biventricular pacing (BVP) with adaptive algorithm (BVP-aCRT) in heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35% (HFrEF) and left bundle branch block (LBBB).Methods and resultsOne hundred patients with HFrEF and LBBB undergoing CRT were prospectively enrolled in a non-randomized fashion and divided into two groups (LBBP-CRT, n = 49; BVP-aCRT, n = 51) in four centres. Implant characteristics and echocardiographic parameters were accessed at baseline and during 6-month and 1-year follow-up. The success rate for LBBP-CRT and BVP-aCRT was 98.00% and 91.07%. Fused LBBP had the greatest reduced QRS duration compared to BVP-aCRT (126.54 ± 11.67 vs. 102.61 ± 9.66 ms, P < 0.001). Higher absolute left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and △LVEF was also achieved in LBBP-CRT than BVP-aCRT at 6-month (47.58 ± 12.02% vs. 41.24 ± 10.56%, P = 0.008; 18.52 ± 13.19% vs. 12.89 ± 9.73%, P = 0.020) and 1-year follow-up (49.10 ± 10.43% vs. 43.62 ± 11.33%, P = 0.021; 20.90 ± 11.80% vs. 15.20 ± 9.98%, P = 0.015, P = 0.015). There was no significant difference in response rate between two groups while higher super-response rate was observed in LBBP-CRT as compared to BVP-aCRT at 6 months (53.06% vs. 36.59%, P = 0.016) and 12 months (61.22% vs. 39.22%, P = 0.028) during follow-up. The pacing threshold was lower in LBBP-CRT at implant and during 1-year follow-up (both P < 0.001). Procedure-related complications and adverse clinical outcomes including heart failure hospitalization and mortality were not significantly different in two groups.ConclusionsThe feasibility and efficacy of LBBP-CRT demonstrated better electromechanical resynchronization and higher clinical and echocardiographic response, especially higher super-response than BVP-aCRT in HFrEF with LBBB.
