Left Bundle Branch Pacing in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy After Myectomy
Sponsor: Meshalkin Research Institute of Pathology of Circulation
Summary
Pilot interventional randomized clinical trial to study the efficacy of left bundle branch pacing in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy after myectomy for the prevention of progression of heart failure, prevent the occurrence of life-threatening rhythm disturbances and promote reverse remodeling of the LV. The aim of the study is to evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator with left bundle branch block pacing and a dual-chamber cardioverter-defibrillator in patients with HCM and complete left bundle branch block after myectomy at high risk of SCD. Objectives of the study: 1. To analyze the safety of ICD implantation procedures with LBBB pacing in patients with HCM and LBBB after myectomy at high risk of SCD; 2. To develop a technique for LBBB lead implantation in patients with HCM and LBBB after myectomy; 3. To conduct a comparative analysis of QRS complex duration data based on ECG data before and after surgery, LV activation time, and pacing threshold based on postoperative programming data; 4. To conduct a comparative analysis of the functional class of CHF, NT-proBNP, the presence/absence of interventricular and intraventricular dyssynchrony, the degree of diastolic dysfunction, LVEF, and LV EDV based on echocardiography data before and 12 months after surgery; 5. Conduct a comparative analysis of QRS complex duration data based on ECG data, LV activation time, pacing threshold, the presence of recorded episodes of AF, VT, VF, antitachycardia and shock therapy according to programming data at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery; 6. Assess quality of life before and 12 months after surgery using the KCCQ-12 questionnaire; 30 patients (15 patients in each group) will be randomly separated into 2 groups. All participants go through ICD programming at 3, 6, and 12 months after myectomy, assessment of left ventricular remodeling based on ECG and echocardiography, NT-proBNP, assessment of quality of life before surgery and 12 months after surgery.

Interventions
ICD with left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP)
Incision in the left or right connector area parallel to the key. Vein puncture. Electrodes are passed through the introducer system. Before implantation, a safety electrode is implanted in the LBBB at the apex of the right ventricle. The His bundle is recorded 1-1.5 cm apically (toward the apex of the right ventricle) in the area of the interventricular septum. Pacing from this area of the QRS complex in lead V1 has a "W" morphology. Insert the electrode into the thick interventricular septum. After each ventricular extrasystole, stop inserting and measure the following parameters: 1. Unipolar impedance. The deeper into the septum, the lower the impedance. The target impedance is at least 500 ohms. 2. Change the activation pattern from LBBB to RBBB. 3. Initially, an increase, then a decrease in the unipolar signal. Fix the electrode with invisible U-shaped sutures. Control programming. Layered wound closure.
dual-chamber ICD
Under local anesthesia, an incision was made parallel to the clavicle in the left junctional area. A subcutaneous bed for the pacemaker was created. Hemostasis was maintained. The communicating vein was punctured from the wound, and through a system of introducers, it was continuously fixed in the right ventricular septum under fluoroscopic control. The electrode was fixed with a U-shaped suture. The communicating vein was again punctured, and through the system of introducers, an electrode was inserted, which was firmly fixed in the right atrial appendage under fluoroscopic control. The electrode was fixed with a U-shaped suture. The electrodes are connected to the pacemaker. Layered wound suturing is performed. An aseptic dressing is applied.
