Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: Who Benefits?

Annals of Global Health, 2014
Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been well established in multiple large trials to improve symptoms, hospitalizations, reverse remodeling, and mortality in well-selected patients with heart failure when used in addition to optimal ...

Implementation of seven echocardiographic parameters of myocardial asynchrony to improve the long-term response rate of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) [PDF]

, 2008
Background Cardiac resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is an effective therapy for chronic heart failure with beneficial hemodynamic effects leading to a reduction of morbidity and mortality. The responder rates, however, are low.

Nocturnal Hypoxemic Burden Predicts Mortality in Patients Awaiting Heart Transplantation

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Trial design and results on hypoxemic burden in the context of heart transplantation. ABSTRACT Risk stratification for patients with end‐stage heart failure (HF) awaiting heart transplantation (HTX) is crucial. Sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) is a prevalent comorbidity, yet the impact of its resultant hypoxemic burden remains unclear in this ...

Exercise Capacity and the Force Frequency Relationship in Multi‐Point Versus Single‐Point Pacing: A Randomized Trial

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Quadripolar left ventricular (LV) epicardial leads capable of multipoint pacing (MPP) may have an advantage over conventional bipolar leads for delivering cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) by stimulating the lateral LV wall from two distinct locations simultaneously.

Clinical and Procedural Characteristics of Acute Hemodynamic Responders Undergoing Triple-Site Ventricular Pacing for Advanced Heart Failure [PDF]

, 2011
The advantages of triple-site ventricular pacing (Tri-V) compared to conventional biventricular site pacing (Bi-V) have been reported. We sought to identify the predictors of acute hemodynamic Tri-V responders. Acute hemodynamic studies were performed in

Real‐World Treatment of Patients With Sinus Node Dysfunction and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is recommended in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND). In patients with coexisting heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), clinicians may be hesitant to treat SND due to concerns about exacerbating heart failure.

Continuous optimization of cardiac resynchronization therapy reduces atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients: Results of the Adaptive Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Trial [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundData from randomized trials have suggested a modest or no effect of conventional cardiac resynchronization therapy (convCRT) on the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF).

A Spinning Nightmare of Twiddler's Syndrome?

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Twiddler's syndrome is a known complication of CIED implantation. Most published cases of Twiddler's syndrome are described as being secondary to patient manipulation of the pulse generator leading to horizontal rotation and “reeling” of the pacemaker leads around the generator. The authors of this paper present a case of an 81‐year‐old female

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2016
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has become an increasingly important therapeutic option for patients (pts) to treat dyssynchrony associated moderate and severe heart failure.
