Predictors of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Response: The Pivotal Role of Electrocardiogram
Heart failure affects millions of patients all over the world, and its treatment is a major clinical challenge. Cardiac dyssynchrony is common among patients with advanced heart failure. Resynchronization therapy is a major advancement in heart failure management, but unfortunately not all patients respond to this therapy. Hence, many diagnostic tests have been used to predict the response and ...
متن کاملUse of Echocardiography to Manage Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Current guidelines recommend cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for a subset of patients with systolic heart failure; however, the optimal settings for each patient and the characterization of the patient population most likely to benefit are still areas of active research and debate. New techniques in echocardiography may facilitate adjustment of pacer specifications to augment a positive...

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 کاملRoutine Implant of Biventricular Devices Guided by an Electroanatomic Mapping System - Ready for Prime-Time?
Biventricular devices play an important adjunctive role in the treatment of heart failure. However, biventricular device implantation is associated with significant radiation exposure and a high proportion of non-response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The use of electroanatomic mapping (EAM) during biventricular device implantation may help overcome these issues. This article will...
