Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy for Heart Failure
In the current issue of Circulation, Anand and colleagues representing the COMPANION (The Comparison of Medical Therapy, Pacing and Defibrillation in Heart Failure) Investigators have brought forward compelling data that emphasize the substantial morbidity benefit of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with moderately severe to severe heart failure. Unlike other studies that hav...
متن کاملCardiac Resynchronization Therapy for Heart Failure
The weight of evidence supporting the routine use of cardiac resynchronization therapy, or atrial-synchronized biventricular pacing, as a treatment for patients with moderate-to-severe chronic systolic heart failure and ventricular dyssynchrony is now quite substantial. Results from mechanistic studies, observational evaluations, and randomized, controlled trials have consistently demonstrated ...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy for mild heart failure.
It has been firmly established that cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces symptoms and improves mortality in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic heart failure [New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV], despite optimal heart failure medication and with wide QRS complex on the surface electrocardiogram as evidence of ventricular dyssynchrony, but not whether such treatment i...
متن کامل[Cardiac resynchronization therapy for heart failure].
The short-term prognosis of advanced refractory heart failure is extremely poor and closely correlated with progressive left ventricular dysfunction. The identification of the negative effects of conduction delay on cardiac performance, observed in almost 50% of heart failure patients, disclosed a new research field addressing the correction of electrical abnormalities in order to achieve an im...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy for congestive heart failure.
Cardiac resynchronization represents a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of congestive heart failure due to systolic dysfunction. Since its modest beginnings in the 1990s, cardiac resynchronization therapy has gained widespread acceptance as a useful adjunct to pharmacologic therapy for congestive heart failure. Randomized trials have consistently shown functional improvement in pati...
