Ventricular Resynchronization: an Emergent Therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rev Esp Cardiol 2004;57(4):279-82 279 Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a new invasive technique. The devices used are expensive, the implantation procedure is usually lengthy, sometimes complex, and the technique is not exempt from complications. Despite these limitations, however, CRT has experienced great progress over recent years, both clinically and experimentally. To what, then, do we owe this interest and expectation?

متن کاملInhibition of pacing in a dependent patient with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator and a left ventricular assist device
Advanced heart failure is the most frequent diagnosis in adult patients admitted to the hospital. The prevalence of heart failure has increased as options for treatment have improved. In addition to pharmacologic therapies, standard implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-D) have decreased mortality and improved quality of life. L...
متن کاملSuccessful extracorporeal membrane oxygenation weaning after cardiac resynchronization therapy device implantation in a patient with end-stage heart failure.
We present the case of a 46-year old male with end-stage heart failure due to ethyltoxic cardiomyopathy. The patient did not meet the criteria for heart transplantation and declined left ventricular assist device implantation. We decided to conduct cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) implantation. Under general anaesthesia for CRT-D implantation, cardiac function worsened. D...
متن کامل[Three-dimensional imaging in cardiac resynchronization therapy].
Cardiac resynchronization therapy improves clinical symptoms and prognosis of heart failure patients. However, it has been shown that up to 40% of patients do not respond to this therapy. Three main determinants of cardiac resynchronization therapy response have been identified: left ventricular dyssynchrony, left ventricular lead position, and extent and location of myocardial scar tissue. Two...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure and a QRS complex <120 milliseconds: the Evaluation of Resynchronization Therapy for Heart Failure (LESSER-EARTH) trial.
BACKGROUND Although the benefits of cardiac resynchronization therapy are well established in selected patients with heart failure and a prolonged QRS duration, salutary effects in patients with narrow QRS complexes remain to be demonstrated. METHODS AND RESULTS The Evaluation of Resynchronization Therapy for Heart Failure (LESSER-EARTH) trial is a randomized, double-blind, 12-center study th...
