Age of cardiac resynchronisation therapy; cardiac resynchronisation therapy in elderly
I have read the article entitled “Is cardiac resynchronisation therapy feasible, safe and beneficial in the very elderly?” by Olechowski, et al. with great interest, recently published in Journal of Geriatric Cardiology. The investigators reported that implantation of cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is feasible and safe in very elderly despite extensive co-morbidity. I would like to emp...
متن کاملReversal of Pacing-Induced Cardiomyopathy by Normal QRS Axis Pacing
Right ventricular apical pacing has been a commonly used method for placement of permanent pacemaker, but it is known to be associated with ventricular dyssynchrony and may lead to heart failure. Septal pacing could be an alternative method to improve this complication but the results have been conflicting; hence, other strategies are needed. This case is about a patient with pacing-induced car...
متن کاملClinical utility of speckle-tracking echocardiography in cardiac resynchronisation therapy
Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) can profoundly improve outcome in selected patients with heart failure; however, response is difficult to predict and can be absent in up to one in three patients. There has been a substantial amount of interest in the echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular dyssynchrony, with the ultimate aim of reliably identifying patients who will respond to ...
متن کاملCardiomyopathy induced by artificial cardiac pacing: myth or reality sustained by evidence?
Implantable cardiac pacing systems are a safe and effective treatment for symptomatic irreversible bradycardia. Under the proper indications, cardiac pacing might bring significant clinical benefit. Evidences from literature state that the action of the artificial pacing system, mainly when the ventricular lead is located at the apex of the right ventricle, produces negative effects to cardiac ...
متن کاملCLINICAL REVIEW Cardiac resynchronisation therapy for chronic heart failure
Chronic heart failure is common, affecting about 900 000 people in theUnited Kingdom andwith a prevalence of about 6-10% in people aged over 65 years; despite modern drug treatment, it carries a high morbidity and a 10% annual mortality. About a third of patients with chronic heart failure have a left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%, up to 40% of whom are at risk of worse outcomes and more s...
