Cardiac resynchronization therapy guided by cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established treatment for patients with symptomatic heart failure, severely impaired left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and a wide (> 120 ms) complex. As with any other treatment, the response to CRT is variable. The degree of pre-implant mechanical dyssynchrony, scar burden and scar localization to the vicinity of the LV pacing stimulus are...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy guided by late gadolinium-enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance
BACKGROUND Myocardial scarring at the LV pacing site leads to incomplete resynchronization and a suboptimal symptomatic response to CRT. We sought to determine whether the use of late gadolinium cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) to guide left ventricular (LV) lead deployment influences the long-term outcome of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). METHODS 559 patients with heart ...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy guided by tissue Doppler
Nowadays, chronic congestive heart failure (CHF) remains a challenge despite significant progress in drug therapy. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has revolutionized CHF treatment as a result of improved cardiac function based on optimal drug therapy [1, 2]. However, approximately 18% to 32% of patients who have undergone CRT do not experience positive curative effects [3, 4]. Recent st...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance criteria for future trials of cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Current patient selection criteria for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT), an efficacious treatment for heart failure, include no measure of disconjugate cardiac contractility other than prolonged QRS on electrocardiogram. Using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, we examined the roles of cardiac asymmetry, asynchrony, and circumferential strain in DCC with the principal aim of generating ...
متن کاملPredictors of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy on pre-implantation cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
Methods Sixty-eight patients receiving CRT underwent pre-implant cardiovascular MRI followed by serial echocardiography at 3 and 6 months. Blinded measurement of Left Ventricular (LV) and Right Ventricular (RV) chamber dimensions, volumes and mass were performed from short axis cine datasets. LV dysynchrony was measured by septal to lateral wall delay. Total LV scar burden was determined from L...
