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.

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Pediatrics [PDF]
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has proven to be a powerful and effective tool in the treatment of adults with severe dilated or ischemic cardiomyopathy. A substantial portion of the adult heart failure population has severely depressed systolic function, heart failure symptoms, QRS prolongation, and left bundle branch block.

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Heart failure can potentially complicate all forms of heart disease. Over the last 20 years, there has been a significant increase in both its incidence and prevalence due to the advancing age of the population and improved survival from coronary heart disease – the principal cause of heart failure.
