Cardiac resynchronization therapy – current status and perspectives
Contact address: Sipoş Sergiu, MD Department of Cardiology, Emergency Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases “Prof. Dr. C.C. Iliescu”, Sos. Fundeni no. 258, 022328 Bucharest, Romania. E-mail: [email protected] INTRODUCTION It’s been over 50 years since the fi rst pacemakers were invented. Since then, important changes have been introduced concerning bradycardias, but also anti-tachycardia therapi...
متن کاملAn Overview of Current Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.
UNLABELLED Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is currently an established device therapy for heart failure (HF) patients. Existing knowledge of implantation techniques, advances in device-based technologies and clinical trial experience have all significantly impacted this evolving therapy in recent years. This review article will address the updated CRT guidelines, and potentially new ind...
متن کاملcardiac resynchronization therapy device implantation in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of great vessels
a 29-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due to exacerbation in dyspnea on exertion and easy fatigability. a known case of congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels and congenital complete heart block, she had already received a permanent single-chamber pacemaker. decision was made to implant a biventricular pacemaker for the treatment of the failing heart. excellent cor...
متن کاملAnodal capture in cardiac resynchronization therapy implications for device programming.
INTRODUCTION Right ventricular (RV) anodal capture (AC) has been reported in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), when left ventricular (LV) pacing uses pseudobipolar (LV tip to RV proximal electrode) configuration. The aim of the study was to analyze the prevalence of AC and its implications for device programming. METHODS AND RESULTS When AC occurred, the resulting QRS morphology was ev...
متن کاملThe Role of Echocardiography in the Optimization of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives
Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has become a mainstay in the management of heart failure. Up to one-third of patients who received resynchronization devices do not experience the full benefits of CRT. The clinical factors influencing the likelihood to respond to the therapy are wide QRS complex, left bundle branch block, female gender, non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (highest re...
