چکیده

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 suboptimal treatment can be identified and addressed. This article reviews the literature on QRS morphology in cardiac resynchronization therapy and its role in optimization of therapy.

January 8th Question.

A 78-year-old man presents to establish care on his implanted cardiac resynchronization therapy–defibrillator. He has history of permanent atrial fibrillation, ischemic cardiomyopathy, left bundle branch block, and chronic New York Heart Association functional class III congestive heart failure. He had primary prevention cardiac resynchronization therapy–defibrillator implanted 2 years ago and ...

Analysis of ECG by means of Complexity Index and Association with Clinical Response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

147 Abstract We hypothesized that the analysis of the system complexity, as performed by the OntoCareTM system on the 12-lead ECG collected before and after implantation, could allow the identification of responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The OntoCareTM system measures complexity, analyzing the multi-dimensional structure of the ECG. We investigated the association between ...

Dispersion of repolarization in cardiac resynchronization therapy.

BACKGROUND Proarrhythmic effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) as a result of increased transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR) induced by left ventricular (LV) epicardial pacing in a subset of vulnerable patients have been reported. The possibility of identifying these patients by ECG repolarization indices has been suggested. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to te...

Evaluation of cardiac resynchronization therapy in drug-resistant dilated-phase hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by means of Tc-99m sestamibi ECG-gated SPECT.

This case describes a 65-year-old male with drug-resistant heart failure. Cardiac resynchronization therapy was performed. We evaluated cardiac function with volume curve differentiation software (VCDiff) from QGS data with Tc-99m sestamibi. Left ventricular parameters during atrial-right ventricular pacing were left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 30%, end-diastolic volume (EDV) 156 ml, e...

Mathematical Modeling and Simulation of Ventricular Activation Sequences: Implications for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

Next to clinical and experimental research, mathematical modeling plays a crucial role in medicine. Biomedical research takes place on many different levels, from molecules to the whole organism. Due to the complexity of biological systems, the interactions between components are often difficult or impossible to understand without the help of mathematical models. Mathematical models of cardiac ...
