Interventional electrophysiology and cardiac resynchronization therapy: delivering electrical therapies for heart failure.
Implantable devices have become a readily available option for patients with heart failure. Not only do these patients develop bradycardia and ventricular tachycardia, but their ventricular dysfunction can often improve with cardiac resynchronization therapy. However, this is a complex and rapidly developing clinical science for which the physician chooses techniques and selects patients on the...

متن کاملCardiac-resynchronization therapy.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) addresses abnormal left ventricular (LV) activation that produces detrimental effects on cardiac systolic and diastolic function. CRT improves symptoms and ventricular performance, promotes reverse remodeling, and decreases mortality and hospitalization in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Atrial-synchronized biventricular stimulation reverses...
متن کاملCardiac Resynchronization Therapy
According to the 2013 update on heart disease statistics from American Heart Association, an estimated 5.1 million Americans ≥20 years of age have a diagnosis of heart failure. In the year 2009, heart failure was noted to be the primary cause of death in >56 000 people and contributed to death of >274 000 people. It is one of the most common causes of hospitalization in patients ≥65 years of ag...
متن کامل[Cardiac resynchronization therapy].
Fifteen years after the birth of resynchronization therapy, this technique has become one of the recommended treatments in severe heart failure patients, with low ejection fraction (4 35%), and conduction disorders (ORS > or = 120 ms). Based on large randomized clinical trials, the European recommendation is class I type (level of evidence A), to improve symptoms and survival of this patient po...
