[Cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy].
In this issue of iJACC (JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging), Botvinick et al. (1) perform a complex study involving the performance of equilibrium radionuclide myocardiography with phase analysis during ventricular tachycardia. The authors identify specific characteristics that define tolerability of the arrhythmia in individual patients. Most of these discriminating factors in the 2 patient groups i...
متن کاملCardiac Resynchronization Therapy; Biventricular Pacing
Although the estimates from limited studies vary on the proportion of patients with heart failure who also have ventricular dyssynchrony as reflected by a prolonged QRS complex, often in the form of left bundle branch block, the number of such patients is large (27% to 53%) and it is certainly in excess of the rate for the general population. Among these patients, 10% to 15% are candidates for ...
متن کاملInformed consent in cardiac resynchronization therapy: what should be said?
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for the treatment of heart failure (HF) raises complex problems for informed consent. CRT with and without defibrillator backup has been demonstrated in clinical trials to improve symptoms from HF and decrease mortality.1–4 A CRT pacemaker (CRT-P) may improve symptoms and reduce mortality in selected patients, even without offering the specific protection...
