Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Amount of patients with at least one acceptable LV pacing configuration.

    Amount of patients with at least one acceptable, programmable LV pacing configuration. Definition of acceptable LV pacing configuration: LV pacing threshold \<=2.5V@0.5ms AND Phrenic nerve threshold is at least twice as high as LV pacing threshold AND LV pacing impedance \>=200 Ohms. Only patients with implanted CRT-D and bipolar leftventricular lead are taken into account.

    First Follow Up after hospital discharge (approx. 1-3 months)
