"Hyper-response" evaluated by 3D echocardiography after cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy consists of a promising treatment for patients with severe heart failure, but about 30% of patients do not exhibit clinical improvement with this procedure. However, approximately 10% of patients undergoing this therapy may have hyperresponsiveness, and three-dimensional echocardiography can provide an interesting option for the selection and evaluation of such...
متن کاملEchocardiography, dyssynchrony, and the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Biventricular pacing or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been a considerable advance in the therapy of chronic heart failure. However, it is clear that not all patients benefit either in terms of symptoms or cardiac function, and some may be worsened by CRT. In this review, we consider the arguments, both clinical and economical, in favour of improved selection of patients for CRT ot...
متن کاملEchocardiography in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy has been an effective option in patients with advanced heart failure. However, 20 to 30% of the patients do not benefit from this therapy. Clinical, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic criteria have been studied in an attempt to select patients who will benefit from a cardiac resynchronization therapy, and the echocardiogram is important both in the sele...
متن کاملECG Patterns In Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy is an established treatment modality in heart failure. Though non-response is a serious issue. To address this issue, a good understanding of the electrical activation during underlying intrinsic ventricular activation, biventricular as well as right- and left ventricular pacing is needed. By interpreting the 12-lead electrocardiogram, possible reasons for subo...
متن کاملThe role of echocardiography in the indication and optimization of cardiac resynchronization therapy
The prevalence of heart failure is about 2% among the adult population in developed countries. Most of the patients are over 70 years old and almost half of them has left ventricular ejection fraction under 50%, this pathology being responsible for about 5% of hospital admissions, despite the continuous progress in diagnostics and discoveries of new pharmacological treatments. The prognosis of ...
