His-Bundle Corrective Pacing in Heart Failure

Description

The investigators aim to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of benefit of His-bundle pacing enhanced cardiac resynchronization therapy (His-CRT) vs. cardiac resynchronization therapy (BIV-CRT) in patients with heart failure and right bundle branch block (RBBB).

Conditions
