Participant Flow

Potential participants will be identified by clinician referrals at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Heart Hosptial. Research staff will contact potential subjects and invite them to participate.

21 EC-LBBAP participants were consented and enrolled in the study. One participant did not complete the study and was exited, as echo was unable to be complete at implant. 12 EC-LBBAP handheld participants were consented and enrolled in the study. Two participants did not complete the study and were exited, as echo was unable to be complete at implant. 30 Participants in the "Control" Arm/Group are not considered enrolled and therefore, not included in the Number Enrolled.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Through study completion, an average of 3 months

Population: Workflow defined and echo images obtained to facilitate LBBAP in participants in the ECLBBAP arm

This measure is to determine if the workflow is feasible in regular practice (echo tech availability, lab availability, duration of comparative procedures) between intervention group and controls, and to determine if the identifying echocardiographic windows is able to be performed pre operatively on all intervention patients This measure is to determine the number of participants that the workflow is feasible for and could be performed on in regular practice (echo tech availability, lab availability, duration of comparative procedures)
