Nonresponse to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is still a major issue in therapy expansion. The description of fast, simple, cost-effective methods to optimize CRT could help in adapting pacing intervals to individual patients. A be...

This review discusses the state of the art of knowledge to help decision making in patients who are candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and to analyze the long-term total and cardiac mortality, sudden death, and CRT with ...

Many patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction may benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy; however, approximately 30% of patients do not experience significant clinical improvement with this treatment. AV and VV delay opti...

The benefits of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on the outcomes of patients with heart failure are unquestionable. Women are under-represented in all CRT studies. Most of the available data show that CRT produces a greater clinical ...

Both cardiac resynchronization therapy with a pacemaker (CRT-P) and with a biventricular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (CRT-D) are electrical treatment modalities validated for the management of chronic heart failure. There is no s...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves left ventricular function, especially in patients with left bundle branch block or those receiving chronic right ventricular pacing. CRT is typically accomplished by placing a right ventricul...
