Implementation of lead V8 as a simple non-invasive tool to improve patient selection in CRT and guide LV lead placement
NDAT in lead V8 is a non-invasive marker of delayed activation in the posterolateral LV, outperforming V6 in identifying late activation. When combined with LV-paced QRS morphology, V8 facilitates accurate lead localization without additional tools. These findings may support the use of lead V8 to refine patient selection and optimize CRT delivery.
