Response to cardiac resynchronization therapy: Dichotomous or continuous variable?
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), with or without defibrillation, has revolutionized the treatment of heart failure, leading to reverse remodeling (the main prognostic factor in heart failure) and improvements in quality of life, functional class, hospitalizations for heart failure and mortality. However, since CRT was introduced, the proportion of patients who do not respond to the ther...
متن کاملCardiac sympathetic reserve and response to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
BACKGROUND The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on cardiac autonomic function. METHODS AND RESULTS This prospective study included 45 consecutive patients with heart failure who received CRT devices with defibrillator and 20 age-matched, healthy control subjects. At baseline and 3 months and 6 months after CRT, we assessed...
متن کاملNeutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio predicts response to cardiac resynchronization therapy
BACKGROUND Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (N/L) ratio has been associated with adverse outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndromes and increased risk for long-term mortality in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio on response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy cons...
متن کاملHow to predict response to cardiac resynchronization therapy?
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is considered a major breakthrough in the treatment of patients with end-stage heart failure. Initial studies demonstrated an acute improvement in haemodynamics immediately after CRT, whereas a large number of studies with midterm follow-up (6 months to 1 year) demonstrated an improvement in heart failure symptoms, quality-of-life score, exercise capacity...
