The effectiveness of the cardiac resynchronization in a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in multiple and large trials has been demonstrated to improve symptoms and decrease hospitalization and mortality of patients when used in addition to optimal medical therapy.

Loss of cardiac resynchronization therapy in a patient with a biventricular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator [PDF]
Here, we discuss the case of a man with a history of ischemic cardiomyopathy and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator implantation, who presented to emergency department with decompensated heart failure due to the loss of resynchronization ...

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Leads to Improvements in Handgrip Strength [PDF]
Background: A reduction in skeletal muscle performance measured by handgrip strength is common in heart failure. No trial has investigated the role of cardiac resynchronization therapy, which leads to improvements in cardiac performance, on the ...

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a recently developed approach to treat dilated heart failure with discoordinate contraction. Such dyssynchrony typically stems from electrical delay that then translates into mechanical delay between the septal and lateral walls.

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy [PDF]
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), or biventricular pacing therapy, is the first approved nonsurgical treatment of advanced heart failure (HF) employing implantable device. This therapy is characterized by the implantation of an additional left ventricular (LV) lead, usually through the coronary sinus, to reach the lateral or postero-lateral vein

Predictive value of left atrial remodeling for response to cardiac resynchronization therapy
Response to cardiac resynchronization therapy varies significantly among patients, with one third of them failing to demonstrate left ventricular reverse remodeling after cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Ischemic Etiology and Clinical Outcomes Following Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Optimal patient selection for cardiac resynchronization therapy is crucial. There are several concerns that allow to better clarify the association between the ischemic etiology of heart failure and the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Overview of Current Strategies Aiming at Improving Response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Cardiac resynchronization therapy is a treatment modality developed in the early 2000s that targets the mechanical and electrical dyssynchrony in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients. Appropriate patient selection conditions specified in
