Cardiac resynchronization therapy in chronic heart failure.
Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) has emerged as a treatment option for patients with severe, drug-refractory heart failure and signs of intraventricular dyssynchrony. In clinical trials CRT reduced the overall mortality, improved symptoms, exercise tolerance, and left ventricular function, as compared with optimised medical therapy alone. One of the challenging fields in patient selectio...
متن کاملActivity monitoring in heart failure patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy.
BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves functional capacity in heart failure patients. This study aimed to prospectively analyze long-term device-based monitoring of physical activity in patients undergoing CRT. METHODS AND RESULTS The Activity Log Index (ALI), calculated by CRT devices, represents the percentage of time when acceleration exceeds a threshold and monitors t...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure patients with atrial fibrillation
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an important device-based, non-pharmacological approach that has shown, in large randomized trials, to improve left ventricular (LV) function and reduce both morbidity and mortality rates in selected patients affected by advanced heart failure (HF): New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III-IV, reduced LV systolic function with an ejection...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure: systematic review.
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has emerged as the predominant electrical treatment strategy for patients on pharmacological therapy who present heart failure with wide QRS and low ejection fraction. The objective of this study was to investigate whether cardiac resynchronization therapy improved mortality and morbidity among patients with heart failure. METHODS ...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 signaling in patients with chronic heart failure treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy
INTRODUCTION Increased expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been described in left ventricular dysfunction in the course of chronic heart failure. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a unique treatment method that may reverse the course of chronic heart failure (CHF) with reduced ejection fraction (HF-REF). We aimed to evaluate the IL-6 system, including soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) ...
