About this trial

The NORDIC-CSP trial is an investigator-initiated, blinded, nordic RCT aimed at evaluating whether using direct pacing of the HIS bundle (HIS)-pacing or left bundle branch (LBB) pacing is superior to conventional biventricular pacing in reducing the incidence of the composite endpoint of death and non-planned HF hospitalization. The study will be conducted in the 4 CRT-centres in Denmark and 6-8 centres from countries Sweden, Norway and Finland.
