Long-term retention of cardiac resynchronization therapy.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and causes of intermittent and permanent loss of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients who have undergone the successful implantation of a transvenous defibrillator that delivers CRT (CRT-D). BACKGROUND The causes of loss of CRT have not been described. METHODS The records of 512 patients who underwent an atte...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy: long-term alternative to cardiac transplantation?
BACKGROUND Cardiac transplantation remains the gold standard for treating end-stage heart failure. However, because of donor shortage and posttransplant complications alternative options are needed. METHODS We investigated the impact of cardiac resynchronization therapy on clinical outcome in 545 patients with left bundle-branch block and interventricular asynchrony, who fulfilled the cardiac...
متن کاملVery long term follow-up of cardiac resynchronization therapy: clinical outcome and predictors of mortality.
BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves symptoms, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and survival in patients with heart failure and wide QRS, however, long term clinical outcome is unknown. AIMS To identify predictors of mortality and evaluate the effects of CRT after long term follow-up. METHODS Consecutive patients treated with CRT between 1997 and 2002 were in...
متن کاملIntermediate-term mortality and incidence of ICD therapy in octogenarians after cardiac resynchronization therapy
BACKGROUND Clinical outcomes of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients over the age of 80 have not been well described. METHODS We retrospectively identified 96 consecutive patients ≥ 80 years old who underwent an initial implant or an upgrade to CRT, with or without defibrillator (CRT-D vs. CRT-P), at our institution between January 2003 and July 2008. The control cohort consist...
متن کاملMid-Term Outcomes in Patients Implanted with Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
We applied cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for desynchronized heart failure patients. We evaluated clinical outcomes including morbidity, mortality, and echocardiographic parameters in 47 patients with implanted CRT in Korea from October 2005 to May 2013. The combined outcomes of hospitalization from heart failure, heart transplantation and death were the primary end point. Median follo...
