Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a recently developed approach to treat dilated heart failure with discoordinate contraction. Such dyssynchrony typically stems from electrical delay that then translates into mechanical delay between the septal and lateral walls. Over the past decade, many studies have examined the pathophysiology of cardiac dyssynchr...
متن کاملAnimal Models of Dyssynchrony
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an important therapy for patients with heart failure and conduction pathology, but the benefits are heterogeneous between patients and approximately a third of patients do not show signs of clinical or echocardiographic response. This calls for a better understanding of the underlying conduction disease and resynchronization. In this review, we discuss...
متن کاملSeeing is believing: acute haemodynamic response to predict long-term outcome in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Many heart failure specialists still believe that the pathophysiology of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is incompletely understood; however, it must be emphasized that the main effects of biventricular pacing have already been described more than a decade ago. In 1994, Cazeau et al. reported how biventricular pacing improves clinical signs and symptoms of heart failure, acutely increas...
متن کاملSpeckle tracking echocardiography: clinical applications in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a proven therapy for selected patients with heart failure, it has been shown to improve symptoms and left ventricular (LV) function and prolong survival. Despite proven benefit of CRT, a significant proportion of patients fail to respond to CRT. Multiple factors contribute to the non-response such as patient selection and device implantation including ...
متن کاملClinical Assessment and Implication of Left Ventricular Mechanical Dyssynchrony in Patients with Heart Failure.
UNLABELLED There have been numerous studies focusing on the assessment of left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony. These studies are diverse in their purposes, which include more effectively predicting the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy, improving the guidance of the left ventricular lead position, and better prediction of outcome in patients with heart failure. This article rev...
