What 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 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 کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy responders can be better identified by specific signatures in myocardial function.
We are in the third decade of the cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) era and CRT has become a standard treatment option for heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction and conduction delays. Although CRT cannot cure any underlying myocardial disease causally, it leads to reverse remodelling, relieves symptoms, reduces the need for hospitalization, and prolongs survival of heart f...
متن کاملShall CRT-D be downgraded to CRT-P in super-responders of cardiac resynchronization therapy?
Despite the established role of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with heart failure (HF), researchers remain active in understanding the benefit of this therapy and exploring new indications. One important issue is the highly variable response rate to CRT and the identification of effective responders. Response to CRT also has a wide range of terminology, including mid-term l...
متن کامل[Antiarrhythmic effect of cardiac resynchronization].
Rev Esp Cardiol. 2005;58(10):1139-41 1139 Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has proved efficient in improving symptoms and quality of life and reducing cardiovascular mortality. However, research into possible antiarrhythmic effects of the therapy per se is extremely limited. When evaluating response to CRT, we find patients who, despite good functional evolution, present ventricular tach...
