Superresponse to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy [PDF]
Case presentation : A 55-year-old female patient underwent implantation of a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) defibrillator 6 years ago owing to nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Her left-ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) was 28% before implantation, her LV end-diastolic volume index (EDVI) was 144 mL/m2, and her LV end-systolic volume ...

Left bundle cardiac resynchronization therapy versus left bundle optimized cardiac resynchronization therapy [PDF]
Background: In patients undergoing left bundle branch area pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy (LB-CRT), addition of a coronary sinus lead i.e. Left bundle optimized CRT (LOT-CRT) might confer additional benefit.

Case Report: Treatment of ultra-late phrenic nerve stimulation after cardiac resynchronization therapy with double-layer spacer isolation technique [PDF]
Ultra-late phrenic nerve stimulation (PNS) without evidence of lead dislodgement after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) can be frequently solved by reprogramming and seldom leads to reintervention.

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy [PDF]
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.

Assessment Patient s’ Knowledge and Practice Regarding Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Device in outpatient clinic at the National Heart Institute. [PDF]
Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) uses a device called a biventricular pacemaker that sends electrical signals to both lower chambers of the heart (ventricles).

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Abstract Cardiac resynchronization therapy is a cardiac pacing modality used in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction and ventricular electromechanical delay (dyssynchrony). Disrupted electromechanical coupling is a frequent accompaniment of progressive left ventricular systolic failure, manifesting as delays in ...

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.

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.
