Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy for Heart Failure
In the current issue of Circulation, Anand and colleagues representing the COMPANION (The Comparison of Medical Therapy, Pacing and Defibrillation in Heart Failure) Investigators have brought forward compelling data that emphasize the substantial morbidity benefit of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with moderately severe to severe heart failure. Unlike other studies that hav...
متن کاملCardiac Resynchronization Therapy for Heart Failure
The weight of evidence supporting the routine use of cardiac resynchronization therapy, or atrial-synchronized biventricular pacing, as a treatment for patients with moderate-to-severe chronic systolic heart failure and ventricular dyssynchrony is now quite substantial. Results from mechanistic studies, observational evaluations, and randomized, controlled trials have consistently demonstrated ...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy for mild heart failure.
It has been firmly established that cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces symptoms and improves mortality in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic heart failure [New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV], despite optimal heart failure medication and with wide QRS complex on the surface electrocardiogram as evidence of ventricular dyssynchrony, but not whether such treatment i...
متن کاملOptimization of heart failure medication after cardiac resynchronization therapy and the impact on long-term survival.
AIMS Treatment with evidence-based heart failure (HF) medication reduces morbidity and mortality, yet they remain underused and underdosed. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves haemodynamics, and might allow for optimization of HF medication. We analysed treatment with HF medication after CRT implantation, long-term adherence to this treatment, and its association with patient survi...
متن کاملLong-term effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with refractory heart failure and "narrow" QRS.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with refractory heart failure (HF) and incomplete left bundle branch block ("narrow" QRS), together with echocardiographic evidence of interventricular and intraventricular asynchrony. BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy has been proven effective in patients with H...
