Differentiating Electromechanical From Non-Electrical Substrates of Mechanical Discoordination to Identify Responders to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) mechanical discoordination, often referred to as dyssynchrony, is often observed in patients with heart failure regardless of QRS duration. We hypothesized that different myocardial substrates for LV mechanical discoordination exist from (1) electromechanical activation delay, (2) regional differences in contractility, or (3) regional scar and that we could diff...
متن کاملWhat happens to non-responders in cardiac resynchronization therapy?
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) is strongly related to the long-term prognosis of patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The aim of this study was to assess the long-term clinical outcome of patients without LVRR at six months after CRT implantation and to determine the prognostic impact of clinical response in this population. METH...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of right ventricular function in responders and non-responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to determine whether baseline right ventricular (RV) function assessed by standard echocardiography may indicate patients who will respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). MATERIAL AND METHODS The data of 57 patients (54 men, 95%), aged 66.4 ±8.7 years with heart failure (HF) having a CRT device implanted were collected. All patients had left ...
متن کاملVentricular arrhythmias in super-responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Cardiac resynchronization therapy is associated with improved quality of life and reduced morbidity and mortality in patients with severe ventricular dysfunction and wide QRS. However, its role in the reduction of ventricular arrhythmias is more controversial. METHODS We compared the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias in patients who were undergoing cardiac resyn...
متن کاملSympathetic control after cardiac resynchronization therapy: responders versus nonresponders.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) decreases muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in patients with severe congestive heart failure (CHF) and cardiac asynchrony. Whether this affects equally patients who clinically respond or not to CRT is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that the favorable effects of CRT on MSNA disappear on CRT interruption only in those who respond to CRT. Twenty-th...
