BACKGROUND: Septal strain patterns measured by echocardiography reflect the severity of left bundle branch block (LBBB)-induced left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. We investigated whether these LBBB strain stages predicted the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in an observational study and developed a sheep model of LBBB-induced cardiomyopathy.
METHODS: The clinical study enrolled cardiac resynchronization therapy patients who underwent echocardiographic examination with speckle-tracking strain analysis before cardiac resynchronization therapy implant. In an experimental sheep model with pacing-induced dyssynchrony, LV remodeling and strain were assessed at baseline, at 8 and 16 weeks. Septal strain curves were classified into 5 patterns (LBBB-0 to LBBB-4).
RESULTS: The clinical study involved 250 patients (age 65 [58; 72] years; 79% men; 89% LBBB) with a median LV ejection fraction of 25 [21; 30]%. Across the stages, cardiac resynchronization therapy resulted in a gradual volumetric response, ranging from no response in LBBB-0 patients (ΔLV end-systolic volume 0 [-12; 15]%) to super-response in LBBB-4 patients (ΔLV end-systolic volume -44 [-64; -18]%) (P<0.001). LBBB-0 patients had a less favorable long-term outcome compared with those in stage LBBB≥1 (log-rank P=0.003). In 13 sheep, acute right ventricular pacing resulted in LBBB-1 (23%) and LBBB-2 (77%) patterns. Over the course of 8-16 weeks, continued pacing resulted in progressive LBBB-induced dysfunction, coincident with a transition to advanced strain patterns (92% LBBB-2 and 8% LBBB-3 at week 8; 75% LBBB-3 and 25% LBBB-4 at week 16) (P=0.023).
CONCLUSIONS: The strain-based LBBB classification reflects a pathophysiological continuum of LBBB-induced remodeling over time and is associated with the extent of reverse remodeling in observational cardiac resynchronization therapy-eligible patients.
