Article Synopsis
- Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is being examined as a potential alternative to biventricular pacing (BVP) for patients needing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), with a study comparing the two along with left bundle-optimized therapy CRT (LOT-CRT).
- In the study involving 48 patients, LOT-CRT and BVP showed significantly greater increases in left ventricular pressure and QRS shortening compared to unipolar and bipolar LBBAP, indicating better hemodynamic performance.
- Results also suggested that patients with interventricular conduction delay had less QRS reduction but similar improvements in left ventricular pressure compared to those with left bundle branch block, and the effectiveness of combining LBBAP with coronary vein

This study examined satisfaction with and confidence in understanding health insurance use among Blacks and Hispanic Americans with ambulatory care-sensitive conditions. Using the 2013-2016 Health Reform Monitoring Survey data sets, descriptive statistics and ordinary least-square regressions estimated the association between satisfaction and confidence scores and racial or ethnic groups with ambulatory care-sensitive conditions. Compared with their White counterparts, Black (β = -.

Objective: To determine the extent to which gender disparities exist in either obtaining a leadership position or pay equity among those with leadership positions in state governmental public health agencies.
Design: Utilizing the 2014 Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey, a nationally representative cross-sectional study of state governmental public health agency employees, the characteristics of the state governmental public health agency leadership were described. We estimated the odds of being a manager or an executive leader and the odds of leaders earning greater than $95 000 annually for women compared with men using polytomous multinomial regression and logistic regression models, respectively.
