Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy [PDF]

open access: possibleCardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, 2015
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is included in international consensus guidelines as a treatment with proven efficacy in well-selected patients on top of optimal medical therapy. Although all the guidelines strongly recommend CRT for LBBB with QRS duration greater than 150 milliseconds, lower strength of recommendation is reported for QRS ...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy response in cardiac sarcoidosis

Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2022
Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is a nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) characterized by infiltration of noncaseating granulomas involving the heart with highly variable clinical manifestations that can include conduction abnormalities and systolic heart failure.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2013
This article provides an overview of cardiac resynchronization therapy. At the end of the article, the reader should be familiar with the indications, risks and complications of cardiac resynchronization therapy and important areas of debate.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy

Current Cardiology Reports, 2002
Despite advances in medical therapy for patients with congestive heart failure, morbidity and mortality remain high. Conventional atrioventricular pacing with a short atrioventricular delay was first introduced as a nonpharmacologic treatment for patients with severe heart failure.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy

Nursing, 2007
About 30% of patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction also have ventricular conduction delays (prolonged QRS duration greater than 0.12 second) most frequently seen as left bundle branch block. This intraventricular conduction delay causes nonsynchronous ventricular activation between the right ventricle and the left ventricle (or ...

Is His‐optimized superior to conventional cardiac resynchronization therapy in improving heart failure? Results from a propensity‐matched study

Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE, 2021
His bundle pacing (HBP), alone or optimized in association with coronary sinus pacing (HBP+LV) has recently been proposed as an alternative to conventional cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2006
Left ventricular (LV) dysynchrony, generally defined as the effect of intraventricular conduction defects or bundle branch block to produce nonsynchronous ventricular activation, places the failing heart at a further mechanical disadvantage. The deleterious effects of ventricular dysynchrony include suboptimal ventricular filling, paradoxical septal ...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy in cardiomyopathies

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2014
Cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of diseases of the myocardium that represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality due to progressive heart failure or sudden death. Cardiac resynchronization therapy has become an essential therapeutic tool in the treatment of heart failure patients today.

The evolution of cardiac resynchronization therapy and an introduction to conduction system pacing: a conceptual review.

Europace, 2020
In chronic systolic heart failure and conduction system disease, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is the only known non-pharmacologic heart failure therapy that improves cardiac function, functional capacity, and survival while decreasing cardiac ...
