CRT-D or CRT-P in CRT-indicated patients?
HRV parameters and 6-minute walking test, functional capacity, right ventricular systolic function, BNP and hs-troponin-I levels. Most common cause of death in these patients is arrhythmia, and autonomic dysfunction may be triggering factor (2). HRV parameters are now being used for prognostic evaluation in PAH patients. There are also studies suggesting HRV reduction may be associated with mor...
متن کاملClinical decision tool for CRT-P vs. CRT-D implantation: Findings from PROSE-ICD
BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices reduce mortality through pacing-induced cardiac resynchronization and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy for ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). Whether certain factors can predict if patients will benefit more from implantation of CRT pacemakers (CRT-P) or CRT defibrillators (CRT-D) remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS W...
متن کاملShall CRT-D be downgraded to CRT-P in super-responders of cardiac resynchronization therapy?
Despite the established role of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with heart failure (HF), researchers remain active in understanding the benefit of this therapy and exploring new indications. One important issue is the highly variable response rate to CRT and the identification of effective responders. Response to CRT also has a wide range of terminology, including mid-term l...
متن کاملThe risk of ventricular arrhythmias in a Dutch CRT population: CRT-defibrillator versus CRT-pacemaker
BACKGROUND Patients eligible for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) have an indication for primary prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy. However, response to CRT might influence processes involved in arrhythmogenesis and therefore change the necessity of ICD therapy in certain patients. METHOD In 202 CRT-defibrillator patients, the association between baselin...
متن کاملCause of death and CRT device selection: striving for certitude?
Implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices have had a significant favourable impact on hospitalization and mortality among patients with heart failure (HF). Despite some degree of overlap, the therapeutic rationales for these two forms of device-based therapies are distinct, where ICDs abort arrhythmic death and CRT devices improve cardiac func...
