Every patient deserves the life-changing therapy that SyncAV™ CRT technology delivers. This 4-part series examines the different facets – and positive clinical outcomes – that this Abbott-exclusive technology provides. Part 1 defines what SyncAV CRT technology is, and starts exploring how the technology achieves QRS narrowing and its associated benefits to patients.
SyncAV CRT technology dynamically adjusts the timing of AV delays based on the intrinsic AV interval to deliver triple fusion pacing. Triple fusion pacing is the combination of intrinsic activation wavefronts with both the LV and RV pacing wavefronts. This patient-tailored algorithm shortens the QRS duration (QRSd) beyond what conventional biventricular (BiV) pacing can.2 SyncAV pacing provides the most QRS narrowing options at implant for patients, which allows higher patient survival rate, and has demonstrated a 30% cumulative reduction of heart failure hospitalizations at 2 years.3
100% of patients had a narrower QRS when SyncAV CRT technology was turned on1 and CRT-induced QRS narrowing has been shown to improve clinical outcomes for heart failure patients.4,5
Going a step further, in patients with left bundle-branch block (LBBB), QRS narrowing after CRT implant is associated with 2X lower mortality.6
