How to predict response to cardiac resynchronization therapy?
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is considered a major breakthrough in the treatment of patients with end-stage heart failure. Initial studies demonstrated an acute improvement in haemodynamics immediately after CRT, whereas a large number of studies with midterm follow-up (6 months to 1 year) demonstrated an improvement in heart failure symptoms, quality-of-life score, exercise capacity...
متن کاملAgreement is poor among current criteria used to define response to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
BACKGROUND Numerous criteria believed to define a positive response to cardiac resynchronization therapy have been used in the literature. No study has investigated agreement among these response criteria. We hypothesized that the agreement among the various response criteria would be poor. METHODS AND RESULTS A literature search was conducted with the keywords "cardiac resynchronization" and...

Background—Numerous criteria believed to define a positive response to cardiac resynchronization therapy have been used in the literature. No study has investigated agreement among these response criteria. We hypothesized that the agreement among the various response criteria would be poor.

متن کاملCardiac sympathetic reserve and response to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
BACKGROUND The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on cardiac autonomic function. METHODS AND RESULTS This prospective study included 45 consecutive patients with heart failure who received CRT devices with defibrillator and 20 age-matched, healthy control subjects. At baseline and 3 months and 6 months after CRT, we assessed...
متن کاملHow many patients need cardiac resynchronization therapy?
For patients with moderate or severe heart failure who have evidence of cardiac dyssynchrony there is overwhelming evidence that cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves symptoms substantially, reduces morbidity, and prolongs life. The CARE-HF programme demonstrated that CRT reduced all-cause mortality by 40% and cardiovascular mortality by about 45%. The COMPANION trial, which was stop...
