USA: Cardiac resynchronization therapy reduces heart failure hospitalization (HFH) or death in intraventricular conduction delay (IVCD) but not right bundle branch block (RBBB), indicating that the two conditions should not be lumped together, findings from a meta-analysis have shown.
The study, published in the journal, Circulation, found that in patients with IVCD or left bundle branch block (LBBB), cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) helped outcomes but not for those with RBBB. The researchers suggest reconsidering aggregating RBBB and IVCD into a single "non-LBBB" category during patients' selection for CRT.
