Complex Biventricular Pacing - A Case Series

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2014
It is established that cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) reduces mortality and hospitalisation and improves functional class in patients with NYHA class 3-4 heart failure, an ejection fraction of ≤ 35% and a QRS duration of ≥ 120ms.

Variations of coronary sinus tributaries among patients undergoing cardiac resynchronisation therapy

Folia Morphologica, 2023
BACKGROUND: In cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT), the coronary venous system is used for left ventricular pacing electrode placement. Despite the well- -known anatomy of the coronary sinus and its tributaries, heart failure patients’ remodelled and

Socio‐economic inequalities and heart failure morbidity and mortality: A systematic review and data synthesis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 927-941, April 2025.
Abstract Socio‐economic status (SES) has been associated with incident and prevalent heart failure (HF), as well as its morbidity and mortality. However, the precise nature of the relationship between SES and HF remains unclear due to inconsistent data. This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment and data synthesis of the relationship between

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 839-847, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...

Diagnosis of atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator or cardiac resynchronisation therapy

Archives of Medical Science, 2021
Introduction Implantable cardioverter defibrillators register various types of arrhythmias. Thus they can be exploited to better identify patients with atrial fibrillation episodes and increase the proportion of patients who may benefit from ...

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Literature review and red‐flag symptom clusters for each cardiology specialty

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 955-967, April 2025.
Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...

Echocardiographic markers of dyssynchrony as predictors of super-response to cardiac resynchronisation therapy – a pilot study

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2018
Background Some patients with congestive heart failure have greater improvement of cardiac remodelling after cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) and they are identified as super-responders (SRs).

Prognostic role of high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis: insights from ILLUMINATE‐CS

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 869-878, April 2025.
Abstract Aims The prognostic role of high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs‐cTnT) as a biomarker in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) has yet to be fully determined, especially when compared with B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Methods and Results In this post‐hoc analysis of the ILLUMINATE‐CS (ILLUstration of the Management and prognosIs of ...
