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

Cardiac resynchronization therapy [PDF]
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.
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 ...

Advances in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy [PDF]
The development of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been crucial in reducing morbidity and mortality in patients with advanced heart failure. However, a significant proportion of patients who receive CRT fail to derive significant clinical benefits from this therapy.

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Children [PDF]
Cardiac Resynchronization therapy has become an important management tool in adults with heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy. The role of CRT in children with CHF is still unclear. Evidence is slowly emerging in the pediatric cardiology literature that CRT may have an important and useful role in certain select populations with CHF.
