Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2005 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
Nursing, 2007 About 30% of patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction also have ventricular conduction delays (prolonged QRS duration greater than 0.12 second) most frequently seen as left bundle branch block. This intraventricular conduction delay causes nonsynchronous ventricular activation between the right ventricle and the left ventricle (or ...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy [PDF]
Europace, 2004 The first case report introducing the concept of cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) was published less than 10 years ago, opening the way to the development of the first successful non-pharmacological treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF).

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy [PDF]
Circulation, 2003 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

The Impact of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in the Treatment of Heart Failure [PDF]
, 2017 The number of patients who suffer from heart failure is rapidly increasing. In about one‐third of heart failure patients, conduction delays cause dyssynchronous left ventricular contractions, which leads to reduction in left ventricular function, adverse

Cardiac resynchronization therapy. [PDF]
Ochsner journal, 2009 Systolic heart failure is a major problem for Americans today, with 550,000 new cases diagnosed per year, and ultimately contributes to 287,000 deaths annually. While pharmacologic therapy has drastically improved outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure, hospitalizations from systolic heart failure continue to increase and remain a major cost ...

Clinical and prognostic implications of phenomapping in patients with heart failure receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy [PDF]
, 2021 Despite having an indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy according to current guidelines, patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction who receive cardiac resynchronization therapy do not consistently derive benefit from it.; To ...

Timing of cardiac resynchronization therapy implantation
Europace, 2023 Aims The optimum timing of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantation is unknown. We explored long-term outcomes after CRT in relation to the time interval from a first heart failure hospitalization (HFH) to device implantation.
