Clinical benefit of cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator in patients with an ejection fraction > 35% estimated by cardiac magnetic resonance.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator prolongs survival and improves quality of life in advanced heart failure. Traditionally, patients with ejection fraction > 35 estimated by echocardiography have been excluded. We assessed the prognostic impact of this therapy in a group of patients with severely depressed systolic function as assessed by echocard...
متن کاملThe Influence of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction on the Effectiveness of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Methods In the MADIT-CRT (Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial With Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) study, the echocardiography core laboratory assessed baseline LVEF independent of the enrolling centers and identified a range of LVEFs, including those 30% (i.e., beyond the eligibility criteria). Echocardiographic response with CRT, defined as percent change in left ventric...
متن کاملImpact of ejection fraction on the clinical response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in mild heart failure.
BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in mild heart failure (HF) patients with QRS prolongation and ejection fraction (EF) ≤30%. To assess the effect of CRT in less severe systolic dysfunction, outcomes in the REsynchronization reVErses Remodeling in Systolic left vEntricular dysfunction (REVERSE) study were evaluated in which patients with left ventric...
متن کاملThe influence of left ventricular ejection fraction on the effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy: MADIT-CRT (Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial With Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy).
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction and clinical outcome to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in mild heart failure patients enrolled in MADIT-CRT [corrected]. BACKGROUND Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a surrogate marker of heart failure (HF) status and associated risk. Data on the effectiveness ...
متن کاملEstimation of Ejection Fraction with Echocardiographic and Cardioangiographic Methods in 50 Cardiac Patients
Ejection fraction is the most important indicator of heart failure. Angiography , is a standard method to demonstrate ejection fraction but it is invasive. Therefore determination of sensitivity and specificity of echocardiography versus angiography is a good guidance for physicians. A total number of 50 patients were enrolled in a prospective study. Two dimension and M-Mode echocardiography...
