Summary

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the use of robotically -assisted device leads as a primary strategy for heart resynchronization.This trials aims to compare transvenous lead placement with robotic lead placement for cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Detailed description

A secondary goal is to explore the link between efficacy of CRT and inotropic contractile reserve as measured by dobutamine stress echocardiography.

Conditions

• Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
• Heart Failure

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Primary epicardial placement of left ventricular lead	Epicardial leads will be placed on the left ventricle in the area of the most dyssynchrony . the leads will be attached to a Medtronic Cardiac resynchronization/ AICD/ device
PROCEDURE	Transvenous placement of left ventricular lead	Conventional placement of left ventricular leads performed in the electrophysiology department.
