Recorded at EHRA 2026, this episode of The Lead features host Melissa Middeldorp, MPH, PhD, FHRS, in conversation with Sana Al-Khatib, MD, MHS, FHRS, and Wei Hua, MD, FHRS, about the journal article, Conduction System vs Biventricular Pacing in Heart Failure: The PhysioSync-HF Randomized Clinical Trial. Together, they discuss the findings of the PhysioSync-HF randomized clinical trial, comparing conduction system pacing with biventricular pacing in patients with heart failure and exploring the potential implications for clinical practice.

Learning Objectives:

• Review the design and key findings of the PhysioSync-HF randomized clinical trial comparing conduction system pacing and biventricular pacing in patients with heart failure.
• Discuss the differences between conduction system pacing and biventricular pacing as evaluated in the PhysioSync-HF trial.
• Examine the potential clinical implications of the trial findings for pacing strategies in patients with heart failure.
