The aim of this study is to investigate whether the use of a simple feature on the 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) to optimise pacemaker device programming can have clinically relevant benefit to patient management. More specifically it is to investigate whether using the R-wave in V1 of the surface ECG to guide the timings between left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) pacing improves response to Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy.

Inclusion Criteria
The patient must have a biventricular pacemaker in situ, implanted for NYHA Class III / IV heart failure syndrome with impaired systolic function.
Implantation indication must have included a left ventricular ejection fraction measured on transthoracic echo of <35% and either
Participants must have >95% true biventricular pacing over the 1 month before enrolment and throughout the observation period.
The biventricular paced QRS complex morphology in lead V1 of subject's standard 12 lead surface ECG must show an R wave height of < 1mm or <20% of the total QRS deflection with standard LV offset settings applied.
The subject's standard 12 lead surface ECG must show a right bundle branch block pattern in lead V1 during LV only pacing.
The participant must be willing to comply with the protocol requirements including travelling to the Royal Bournemouth Hospital for the attendances required for the study and intend to have their long term device follow up at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital at the time of enrolment.
