Cardiac resynchronization therapy 101

ardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an effective reatment for heart failure (HF) for patients who still have ignificant symptoms despite optimal medical therapy. any patients with HF have interventricular and intravenricular conduction delays that cause delayed activation of he lateral wall of the left ventricle (LV). This delayed ctivation leads to ventricular dyssynchrony, which comproi...
