  • prospective
  • multicentre (227 hospitals, 27 countries)
  • stopped early for futility at third interim analysis

Patients masked until procedures completed; site staff not masked

Authors' conclusion

Compared with conventional CRT, adaptive CRT did not significantly reduce the incidence of all-cause death or intervention for heart failure decompensation in the included population of patients with heart failure, left bundle branch block, and intact AV conduction.

Study context

Population
Adults with NYHA class 2–4 HF, EF ≤35%, left bundle branch block (QRS ≥140 ms men, ≥130 ms women) and PR interval ≤200 msrandomised

Comparison
Adaptive cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) vs conventional CRT
  • Adaptive CRTn = 1,810
  • Conventional CRTn = 1,807reference
Primary endpoint
Composite of:
  • All-cause death
  • Intervention for HF decompensation
