Selection for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
SEE PAGE 969 C ardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a highly effective treatment for some patients with heart failure. Current guidelines recommend the implantation of CRT devices in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and electrical dyssynchrony, evidenced by a left bundle branch block (1). Unfortunately, not all patients suitable for CRT derive symptomatic benefit—an unsatisf...
متن کاملPatient Selection for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a relatively new therapy for patients with symptomatic heart failure resulting from systolic dysfunction. CRT is achieved by simultaneously pacing both the left and right ventricles. Biventricular pacing resynchronizes the timing of global left ventricular depolarization and improves mechanical contractility and mitral regurgitation. Published clinical...
متن کاملEchocardiography for cardiac resynchronization therapy selection: fatally flawed or misjudged?
After the publication of the PROSPECT (Predictors of Response to CRT) trial, the use of echocardiography for the assessment of mechanical dyssynchrony and as a possible aid for selecting patients for cardiac resynchronization therapy has been heavily criticized. Calls have been made to observe the current guidelines and implant according to the entry criteria of recent major trials. However, al...
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...
