CRT-D or CRT-P in CRT-indicated patients?

HRV parameters and 6-minute walking test, functional capacity, right ventricular systolic function, BNP and hs-troponin-I levels. Most common cause of death in these patients is arrhythmia, and autonomic dysfunction may be triggering factor (2). HRV parameters are now being used for prognostic evaluation in PAH patients. There are also studies suggesting HRV reduction may be associated with mor...

The risk of ventricular arrhythmias in a Dutch CRT population: CRT-defibrillator versus CRT-pacemaker

BACKGROUND Patients eligible for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) have an indication for primary prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy. However, response to CRT might influence processes involved in arrhythmogenesis and therefore change the necessity of ICD therapy in certain patients. METHOD In 202 CRT-defibrillator patients, the association between baselin...

Quadripolar Crt Pacing Technology

Colorimetry for CRT displays.

We analyze the sources of error in specifying color in CRT displays. These include errors inherent in the use of the color matching functions of the CIE 1931 standard observer when only colorimetric, not radiometric, calibrations are available. We provide transformation coefficients that prove to correct the deficiencies of this observer very well. We consider four different candidate sets of c...

Improvement in rebalanced CRT RSA

Many improvements have been made since the RSA origin in terms of encryption/decryption speed and memory saving. This paper concentrates on the performance improvement. Rebalanced RSA is designed to improve the decryption speed at the cost of encryption speed. Further work was done to improve its encryption speed in terms of rebalanced Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) variants. Rebalanced CRT va...
