Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: Lead Positioning and Technical Advances
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a therapeutic option for heart failure patients with a severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and left bundle branch block (Cleland et al., 2001). Ventricular resynchronization is achieved by biventricular pacing, usually via electrodes in the right ventricular apex and a left ventricular (LV) electrode positioned in a coronary vein. About...
متن کاملCardiac-resynchronization therapy.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) addresses abnormal left ventricular (LV) activation that produces detrimental effects on cardiac systolic and diastolic function. CRT improves symptoms and ventricular performance, promotes reverse remodeling, and decreases mortality and hospitalization in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Atrial-synchronized biventricular stimulation reverses...
متن کاملCardiac Resynchronization Therapy
According to the 2013 update on heart disease statistics from American Heart Association, an estimated 5.1 million Americans ≥20 years of age have a diagnosis of heart failure. In the year 2009, heart failure was noted to be the primary cause of death in >56 000 people and contributed to death of >274 000 people. It is one of the most common causes of hospitalization in patients ≥65 years of ag...
متن کامل[Cardiac resynchronization therapy].
Fifteen years after the birth of resynchronization therapy, this technique has become one of the recommended treatments in severe heart failure patients, with low ejection fraction (4 35%), and conduction disorders (ORS > or = 120 ms). Based on large randomized clinical trials, the European recommendation is class I type (level of evidence A), to improve symptoms and survival of this patient po...
متن کاملEchocardiography in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy has been an effective option in patients with advanced heart failure. However, 20 to 30% of the patients do not benefit from this therapy. Clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic criteria have been studied in an attempt to select patients who will benefit from a cardiac resynchronization therapy, and the echocardiogram is important both in the sele...
