Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Pediatrics [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Innovations in Cardiac Rhythm Management, 2018
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.

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).

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,

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.

A simple prognostic index in acute heart failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background Rapid effective triage is integral to emergency care in patients hospitalized for heart failure, to guide the type and intensity of therapy.

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

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

Imaging predictors of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy: left ventricular work asymmetry by echocardiography and septal viability by cardiac magnetic resonance

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2020
Aims  Left ventricular (LV) failure in left bundle branch block is caused by loss of septal function and compensatory hyperfunction of the LV lateral wall (LW) which stimulates adverse remodelling.
