Conclusion
Compared to BVP, LBBP is associated with, a greater improvement in LV
systolic function, and a lower rate of heart failure-related
hospitalization from this meta-analysis. Dedicated large randomized
controlled trials are needed to further elucidate the comparative
long-term efficacy and safety of LBBP CRT vs. BIV CRT.
