Cardiac resynchronization therapy [PDF]
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a nonpharmacological method used to treat chronic heart failure. One symptom of heart failure is ventricular dyssynchrony decreasing the stroke volume.

Coronary venous anatomy can make successful implantation of a cardiac resynchronization therapy device difficult or impossible. The aim of this review is introduce an interventional approach with many techniques and tools that are needed to be learned ...

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.

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]
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 ...

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

It 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

In this issue of the Journal , Giraldi et al. ([1][1]) compare transvenous and epicardial lead placement in patients with unfavorable coronary sinus anatomy. Patients who met standard criteria for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) including left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, New York ...

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
