About this study
Official title: Clinical Efficacy of Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing for Patients With Permanent Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure ：A Multi-center Randomized Controlled Trial
This is a multicenter, randomized controlled study. This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of LBBAP with traditional biventricular pacing in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and heart Failure
Read the detailed description
LBBAP-AFHF is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial that is designed to determine whether left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) may show superiority of improved LV function as compared with traditional biventricular pacing (BiVP) in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and heart failure (LVEF<50%) who receive atrioventricular nodal ablation due to fast ventricular rate or require high percentage of ventricular pacing due to slow ventricular rate. The primary endpoint of this trial is the change in the LVEF at 6 months after device implantation from baseline. A CRT-P/D device would be implanted and LBBAP lead would be connected to the RA port and LV lead to the LV port. Patients who receive successful LBBAP and BiVP simultaneously during the procedure would be 1:1 randomized to LBBAP or BiVP group after the procedure by device programming. Patients will be followed at 3 and 6 months post-discharge for LVEF and other echographic parameters (including LVESV, response rate), and rehospitalization for heart failure or all-cause death.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Left bundle branch area pacingDevice
Left bundle branch area pacing is a novel physiological pacing modality and is reported to be feasible and safe in patients with heart failure and left bundle branch block.
Biventricular pacingDevice
Biventricular pacing is a widely-established modality to treat heart failure in patients with heart failure
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| LBBAP group | Experimental | Device: Left bundle branch area pacing(LBBAP) LBBAP is a novel physiological pacing form for ventricular pacing. In patients who received LBBAP, the pacing lead will be placed at the left bundle branch area to achieve a narrow-paced QRS duration. Receives: Device: Left bundle branch area pacing |
| BiVP group | Active comparator | Device: Biventricular pacing (BiVP) Biventricular pacing is the traditional pacing modality for patients with heart failure. For BiVP, one pacing lead was placed in the coronary sinus, named LV lead, and another lead was placed in the right ventricule. Receives: Device: Biventricular pacing |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
ΔLVEF between baseline and six months post-discharge
ΔLVEF：change in LVEF between baseline and six months after procedure
Measured: Six months after device implantation
Secondary outcomes (9)
The immediate success rate of the LBBAP procedure
Successful LBBAP procedure is identified according to ECG and intracardiac ECG electrogram (IEGM) during the procedure. All LBBAP procedures will be categorized as selective left bundle branch pacing (S-LBBP), non-selective left bundle branch pacing(NS-LBBP), or left ventricular septal pacing (LVSP).
Measured: 1 weeks

Measured: 6 months
Composite incidence rate of all-cause mortality and/or hospitalization for heart failure
All-cause death: including cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular deaths.
