While cardiac resynchronization therapy remains the mainstay for advanced HF, it is not always feasible due to unfavorable anatomy of coronary sinus or pacing characteristics. In such cases, left bundle branch area pacing itself or left bundle optimized cardiac resynchronization therapy could be a rescue therapy for failed or unsuccessful biventricular cardiac resynchronization therapy. However, the efficacy and safety of left bundle branch area pacing (or left bundle optimized cardiac resynchronization therapy) as rescue therapy for biventricular cardiac resynchronization therapy is largely hypothetic and lack concrete evidence still. Therefore, there is an unmet need for the registry purposed for left bundle branch area pacing among heart failure with mid-range (or mildly reduced) ejection fraction and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients to investigate its efficacy and safety. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of left bundle branch area pacing in heart failure patients with ejection fraction below normal using Selectra catheters.

RECRUITINGThe acute success rate of left bundle branch area pacing
The acute success of left bundle branch area pacing was defined as below: Meet ≥2 criteria as follows evaluated at the end of the procedure. * Right bundle branch block configuration observed during unipolar tip pacing * Left bundle branch potential (Left bundle branch-Ventricular interval of 15 to 35ms) * Transition from nonselective Left bundle branch capture to selective Left bundle branch capture * Transition from nonselective Left bundle branch capture to left septal capture at near threshold outputs * Short and constant peak left ventricular activation time (stimulus to peak of the R wave in V5 or V6 \[peak left ventricle activation time\]) \<75ms in non-Left bundle branch block and \<85ms in Left bundle branch block Programmed (extra-stimulus testing) deep septal stimulation to differentiate left ventricular septal vs nonselective Left bundle branch capture
