Improved acute haemodynamic response to cardiac resynchronization therapy using multipoint pacing cannot solely be explained by better resynchronization

The recently developed quadripolar left ventricular (LV) leads has been developed to increase the benefit of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). These leads offer the option to stimulate the LV on multiple sites (multipoint pacing, MPP). Invasive hemodynamic measurements have shown that MPP increases hemodynamic response.
