LV-only (LVo) CRT was recognized in the 2013 ESC guidelines as non-inferior to bi-ventricular (biV) CRT. In a triple-chamber device, LVo extends device service life, reduces atrial fibrillation risk. LVo programs have been proposed but have not been shown to be superior to biV due to the lack of an individualized LV AV delay optimization.
