Cardiac resynchronization therapy with biventricular pacing is an established therapy for heart failure patients with electrical left ventricular desynchronization. The aim of this study was to evaluate left atrial conduction delay, intra left atrial conduction delay, left ventricular conduction delay and intra left ventricular conduction delay in heart failure patients using novel signal averaging transesophageal left heart ECG software. Methods: 8 heart failure patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), age 68 ± 9 years, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 2.9 ± 0.2, 24.8 ± 6.7 % left ventricular ejection fraction, 188.8 ± 15.5 ms QRS duration and 8 heart failure patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), age 67 ± 8 years, NYHA class 2.9 ± 0.3, 32.5 ± 7.4 % left ventricular ejection fraction and 167.6 ± 19.4 ms QRS duration were analysed with transesophageal and transthoracic ECG by Bard LabDuo EP system and novel National Intruments LabView signal averaging ECG software. Results:The electrical left atrial conduction delay was 71.3 ± 17.6 ms in ICM versus 72.3 ± 12.4 ms in DCM, intra left atrial conduction delay 66.8 ± 8.6 ms in ICM versus 63.4 ± 10.9 ms in DCM and left cardiac AV delay 180.5 ± 32.6 ms in ICM versus 152.4 ± 30.4 ms in DCM. The electrical left ventricular conduction delay was 40.9 ± 7.5 ms in ICM versus 42.6 ± 17 ms in DCM and intra left ventricular conduction delay 105.6 ± 19.3 ms in ICM versus 128.3 ± 24.1 ms in DCM. Conclusions: Left heart signal averaging ECG can be utilized to analyse left atrial conduction delay, intra left atrial conduction delay, left ventricular conduction delay and intra left ventricular conduction delay to improve patient selection for cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with biventricular (BV) pacing is an established therapy in approximately twothirds of symptomatic heart failure (HF) patients (P) with left bundle branch block (LBBB). The aim of this study was to evaluate left atrial (LA) conduction delay (LACD) and left ventricular (LV) conduction delay (LVCD) using preimplantational transesophageal electrocardiography (ECG) in sinus rhythm (SR) CRT responder (R) and non-responder (NR). Methods: SR HF P (n=52, age 63.6±10.4 years; 6 females, 46 males) with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 3.0±0.2, 24.4±7.1 % LV ejection fraction and 171.2±37.6 ms QRS duration (QRSD) were measured by bipolar filtered transesophageal LA and LV ECG recording with hemispherical electrodes (HE) TO catheter (Osypka AG, Rheinfelden, Germany). LACD was measured between onset of P-wave in the surface ECG and onset of LA deflection in the LA ECG. LVCD was measured between onset of QRS in the surface ECG and onset of LV deflection in the LV ECG. Results: There were 78.8 % SR CRT R (n=41) with 171.2±36.9 ms QRSD, 73.3±25.7 ms LACD, 80.0±24.0 ms LVCD and 2.3±0.5 QRSD-LVCD-ratio. SR CRT R QRSD correlated with LACD (r=0.688, P<0.001) and LVCD (r=0.699, P<0.001). There were 21.2 % SR CRT NR (n=11) with 153.4±22.4 ms QRSD (P=0.133), 69.8±24.8 ms LACD (n=6, P=0.767), 54.2±31.0 ms LVCD (P<0.0046) and 3.9±2.5 QRSD-LVCD-ratio (P<0.001). SR CRT NR QRSD not correlated with IACD (r=-0.218, P=0.678) and IVCD (r=0.042, P=0.903). During a 22.8±21.3 month CRT follow-up, the CRT R NYHA class improved from 3.1±0.3 to 1.9±0.3 (P<0.001). In CRT NR, NYHA class not improved (2.9±0.4 to 2.9±0.2, P=1) during 11.2±9.8 months BV pacing. Conclusions: Transesophageal LA and LV ECG with HE can be utilized to analyse LACD and LVCD in HF P. Preimplantational LVCD and QRSD-LVCD-ratio may be additional useful parameters to improve P selection for SR CRT.
