Noninvasive cardiovascular imaging as a guide to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
C ardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established therapeutic option with proven efficacy in patients with symptomatic HF. Large, prospective, clinical trials have demonstrated the important role of biventricular pacing in improving symptoms and reducing both hospitalization and mortality in HF patients.1-5 However, a significant proportion of patients (~30%) do not respond to CRT, par...
متن کاملHow many patients need cardiac resynchronization therapy?
For patients with moderate or severe heart failure who have evidence of cardiac dyssynchrony there is overwhelming evidence that cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves symptoms substantially, reduces morbidity, and prolongs life. The CARE-HF programme demonstrated that CRT reduced all-cause mortality by 40% and cardiovascular mortality by about 45%. The COMPANION trial, which was stop...
متن کاملA novel cardiac MRI protocol to guide successful cardiac resynchronization therapy implantation.
Cardiac MRI (CMR) is recognized as an important imaging modality for assessing patients with heart failure. With improved segmentation and image registration tools, data acquired using CMR can help with planning and intraprocedural guidance as well as with defining etiology of heart failure and ventricular function. Here, we describe a successful CRT implantation where segmented CMR images were...
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...
