1 Se, come e quando l’ottimizzazione è necessaria? How and When Optimization Is Needed? M. Cristina Porciani Firenze

2  There is no doubt that CRT has revolutionized treatment for patients with medically resistant LV systolic dysfunction, and abroad QRS  However up to 40% ma not benefit from device implantation or even deteriorate  The exact reason for lack of response is still unclear, but may due to factors such as minimal preimplant dyssynchrony, inadeguate lead placement,scar burden, and also device setting with inappropiate pacing parameters for a given individual

3 However, multiple single centre and few multicenter trials have provided controversial data  While several invasive and non invasive studies have demonstrated that optimizing AV and VV intervals can acutely improve hemodynamic parameters, evidence about the cronic effect is scars  In addition, multiple methodologies have been proposed to optimize AV and VV intervals but no consensus has been reached on which methodology should preferably be used. Current CRT devices allow manipulation of the AV and VV timings CRT OPTIMIZATION

12 Auricchio A. Circulation 1999 Evidence for acute improvement induced by AV optimization in CRT Average percentage change in systolic parameters as a function of 5 normalized AV delays for each pacing chamber (RV,LV, and BV). Tested AV delays were normalized to the patient’s PR interval minus 30 ms

13 Evidence for acute improvement induced AV optimization : Echocardiographic methods

14 Open bars standard settings Hatched bars optimized CRT Solid bars relative variability of the parameters during optimization Relative improvement in the Doppler parameters vs. baseline value after AV optimization Stockburger M. et al Europace 2006 Evidence for acute improvement induced AV optimization in CRT

25 ► Despite similar QRS morphology pts with HF and LBBB may present different pattens of ventricular asynchrony ► The presence of scar and slow or blocked conduction areas affects the time to achieve a global depolarization of the ve ntricle

37 AV optimization VV optimization CRT OPTIMIZATION Results about the long term benefit induced by V-V optimization appear discouraging mainly for VV interval

38 Conclusions Optimization can improve hemodynamics acutely, but long- term clinical improvements are currently less convincing  Until more definitive evidence is available, however, we must do the best for our patients  It is important to remember that HF pts even a small increase in exercise capacity can make a vast personal difference  Optimization has never been shown to be detrimental so it should certainly be performed in those not receiving benefit with empiric settings, but should also be considered in all other patients
