Cardiac resynchronization therapy
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

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Congestive heart failure (CHF) has become a major health problem. Despite improved pharmacologic therapies, refractory symptoms and high mortality remain a challenge in such patients. There has been increased interest in the application of ancillary nonpharmacologic therapies for CHF management, such as implantable pacemakers, defibrillators, and/or ...

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 ...

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Upgrade [PDF]
The implant rates of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) increased rapidly through the first decade of this millennium but have plateaued more recently and may even have started to decrease in Europe and the United States.1,2 The upgrade of existing pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) to CRT currently accounts for a ...

Cardiac-Resynchronization Therapy
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 ...
