Cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure and a QRS complex <120 milliseconds: the Evaluation of Resynchronization Therapy for Heart Failure (LESSER-EARTH) trial.

BACKGROUND Although the benefits of cardiac resynchronization therapy are well established in selected patients with heart failure and a prolonged QRS duration, salutary effects in patients with narrow QRS complexes remain to be demonstrated. METHODS AND RESULTS The Evaluation of Resynchronization Therapy for Heart Failure (LESSER-EARTH) trial is a randomized, double-blind, 12-center study th...

Metaanalysis on effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure patients with narrow QRS complex.

BACKGROUND To systematically review the benefits of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in heart failure patients with narrow QRS (< 120 ms) who have baseline mechanical asynchrony. METHODS We searched the MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and reference lists of retrieved articles for relevant trials through October 2007. Studies were included if they were clinical ...

Long-term effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with refractory heart failure and "narrow" QRS.

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with refractory heart failure (HF) and incomplete left bundle branch block ("narrow" QRS), together with echocardiographic evidence of interventricular and intraventricular asynchrony. BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy has been proven effective in patients with H...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with a narrow QRS.

Although cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is indicated in patients with moderate to severe heart failure with a wide QRS complex (> 120 ms), current guidelines exclude many heart failure patients with a narrow QRS. Detecting mechanical dyssynchrony on echocardiography has become a promising tool in selecting patients with a narrow QRS who may respond to CRT. Several small single-center s...
