Superresponse to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy [PDF]
Circulation, 2014 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 ...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2008It is now well established that electrical and mechanical dyssynchrony are not clinically synonymous; however, at present no individual noninvasive method can reliably and consistently identify the criteria for mechanical dysfunction correctable through device therapy. The results of the PROSPECT (Predictors of Response to CRT) trial not only highlight

Cardiac resynchronization therapy
Current Cardiology Reports, 2002Despite advances in medical therapy for patients with congestive heart failure, morbidity and mortality remain high. Conventional atrioventricular pacing with a short atrioventricular delay was first introduced as a nonpharmacologic treatment for patients with severe heart failure.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy in cardiomyopathies
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2014Cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of diseases of the myocardium that represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality due to progressive heart failure or sudden death. Cardiac resynchronization therapy has become an essential therapeutic tool in the treatment of heart failure patients today.

On the Underutilization of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Journal of Cardiac Failure, 2014Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an exciting therapy that can treat patients with systolic heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction who have a wide QRS complex. Indications for its use have been refined and expanded based on recent clinical data and guidelines, yet the rate of new CRT implants in the United States has not changed much ...

Indications for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Cardiology Clinics, 2014Initial studies established patient selection criteria for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) as left ventricular ejection fraction less than or equal to 35%, QRS greater than or equal to 120 ms, and New York Heart Association 3-4. Based on newer data, post hoc analyses, and meta-analyses, these criteria have been refined and guidelines updated ...
