The effect of cardiac resynchronization on morbidity and mortality in heart failure [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2005 Background: Cardiac resynchronization reduces symptoms and improves left ventricular function in many patients with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction and cardiac dyssynchrony.

Ischemic Etiology and Clinical Outcomes Following Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Medicina, 2020 Optimal patient selection for cardiac resynchronization therapy is crucial. There are several concerns that allow to better clarify the association between the ischemic etiology of heart failure and the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Overview of Current Strategies Aiming at Improving Response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2022 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

The relation between cardiac 123I-mIBG scintigraphy and functional response 1 year after CRT implantation [PDF]
, 2020 Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a disease-modifying therapy in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Current guidelines ascribe CRT eligibility on three parameters only: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), QRS duration, and New ...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy [PDF]
Europace, 2004 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
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2008 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

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022 Background: Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the European Union and worldwide. Constant improvement in cardiac care is leading to an increased number of patients with heart failure, which is a challenging condition in terms of

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2009 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]
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 ...

BMC Geriatrics, 2019 Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy has been shown to benefit selected patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction. Older patients have been underrepresented in randomized trials.
