Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been developed as a treatment for patients with conduction system dysfunction and impairment of ventricular performance. The aim is to restore more physiological cardiac activation and thereby improve cardiac function, symptoms, and outcomes. In this review, we discuss potential electrical treatment targets for patients with heart failure and how these electrical treatment targets may determine the optimal pacing approach for delivering CRT. The most well-established method for delivering CRT is biventricular pacing (BVP). BVP improves symptoms and reduces mortality in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB). However, patients continue to suffer from heart failure symptoms and decompensations despite receiving BVP. There may be scope to deliver more effective CRT since BVP does not restore physiological ventricular activation. Furthermore, the results with BVP in patients with non-LBBB conduction system disease have been generally disappointing. Alternative pacing approaches to BVP are now available, including conduction system pacing and left ventricular endocardial pacing. These newer pacing approaches offer exciting potential to not only offer an alternative to coronary sinus lead implantation in the case of implant failure but to potentially deliver more effective treatment in LBBB and maybe even extend the indications for CRT beyond LBBB.
