Implantable cardioverter defibrillators for the treatment of arrhythmias and cardiac resynchronisation therapy for the treatment of heart failure: systematic review and economic evaluation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background This assessment updates and expands on two previous technology assessments that evaluated implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) for arrhythmias and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) for heart failure (HF).

Reduction in the QRS area after cardiac resynchronization therapy is associated with survival and echocardiographic response

open access: yesCardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2021
Recent studies have shown that the baseline QRS area is associated with the clinical response after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In this study, we investigated the association of QRS area reduction (∆QRS area) after CRT with the outcome.

Electrical interventricular delay and left ventricular delay in right ventricular pacemaker pacing before upgrading to cardiac resynchronization therapy

open access: yesCurrent Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2017
Cardiac resynchronization therapy with biventricular pacing is an established therapy for heart failure patients with sinus rhythm, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and electrical ventricular desynchronization.

Influence of diabetes on cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure patients: a meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor of increased morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), a pacemaker-based therapy for dyssynchronous heart failure, improves cardiac ...

The year in cardiology: arrhythmias and pacing. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
During this last year, there has been much progress with regard to anticoagulant and ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF). Apart from recently issued European Society of Cardiology Guidelines for the management of patients with supraventricular ...

Data deluge from remote monitoring of cardiac implantable electronic devices and importance of clinical stratification

open access: yesHeart Rhythm O2, 2023
Background: Remote monitoring (RM) has been accepted as a standard of care for follow-up of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). However, the resulting data deluge poses major challenge to device clinics.

Prolonged PR interval, first-degree heart block and adverse cardiovascular outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Objective: First-degree atrioventricular block is frequently encountered in clinical practice and is generally considered a benign process. However, there is emerging evidence that prolonged PR interval may be associated with adverse outcomes. This study

Optimized implementation of cardiac resynchronization therapy: a call for action for referral and optimization of care

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, 2020
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is one of the most effective therapies for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and leads to improved quality of life, reductions in heart failure hospitalization rates and all‐cause mortality. Nevertheless,

Machine learning-based mortality prediction of patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy: the SEMMELWEIS-CRT score

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2020
Aims Our aim was to develop a machine learning (ML)-based risk stratification system to predict 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year all-cause mortality from pre-implant parameters of patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Methods and results

Predictors of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Response: The Pivotal Role of Electrocardiogram

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2013
Heart failure affects millions of patients all over the world, and its treatment is a major clinical challenge. Cardiac dyssynchrony is common among patients with advanced heart failure.
