The trials upon which recommendations for the use of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in heart failure used optimal medical (OMT) before sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). Moreover, SGLT2i included only a small proportion participants with CRT, and therefore, it remains uncertain whether should be considered part OMT prior to CRT.
Baseline right bundle branch block (RBBB) is an established predictor of permanent pacemaker (PPM) requirement after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). There are limited data to support prophylactic PPM implantation in advance TAVR. We aimed evaluate the efficacy and safety patients with RBBB prior TAVR, identify predictors pacing dependence
