CRT-D Therapy in Patients with Decompensated NYHA Class-Four CHF
Background. ACC-HRS Guidelines for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy ICD implantation (CRT-D) do not include patients with advanced nonambulatory NYHA class-four CHF due to an expectation of limited survival. There is little data available from these large multicenter randomized studies to support or refute this claim. Purpose. We evaluated the outcomes of patients with advanced nonambulatory N...
متن کاملCRT-D therapy in heart failure: how much do NYHA class IV patients benefit?
Patients with advanced heart failure (HF) have high mortality rates, to a relatively greater extent in those with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class IV versus III, justifying consideration of cardiac transplantation in this high-risk population.1,2 For many of these patients, gains in pharmacologic therapy have helped significantly in delaying progression to transplantation requ...
متن کاملCRT-D or CRT-P in CRT-indicated patients?
HRV parameters and 6-minute walking test, functional capacity, right ventricular systolic function, BNP and hs-troponin-I levels. Most common cause of death in these patients is arrhythmia, and autonomic dysfunction may be triggering factor (2). HRV parameters are now being used for prognostic evaluation in PAH patients. There are also studies suggesting HRV reduction may be associated with mor...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy: helpful now in selected patients with CHF.
Drs Leclercq and Hare 1 and Auricchio and Abraham have comprehensively reviewed the state of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). As they emphasize, this novel pacing approach to treat heart failure shortens or optimizes the atrioventricular interval necessary to resynchronize lateral-septal contractions and improves atrioventricular mechanical synchrony by abolishing late diastolic ventric...
متن کاملCRT-D therapy in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and atrial fibrillation.
The number of patients with atrial fibrillation and congestive heart failure has steadily increased in the United States. The presence of atrial fibrillation increases morbidity and mortality for patients with left ventricular dysfunction. The emergence of cardiac resynchronization therapy to improve symptoms and survival from congestive heart failure may provide benefits for those with atrial ...
