Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been shown to be effective for advanced heart
failure and discoordinate wall motion, although the nonresponse rate for patients meeting …

Purpose We assessed the potential of the SDI derived from CMR to predict reduction in end
systolic volume (ESV) and improvement in ejection fraction in heart failure patients …

Echocardiography is used in cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) to assess cardiac
function, and in particular left ventricular (LV) volumetric status, and prediction of response …

Aim To assess the relative value of a novel measure of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony
derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the extent of scar tissue for prediction …

Abstract Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) constitutes an established way of
treatment for patients suffering from severe heart failure. However, this technologically …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a highly effective treatment for some patients
with heart failure. Current guidelines recommend the implantation of CRT devices in patients …

Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) restores ventricular synchrony and
induces left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling in patients with heart failure (HF) and …

Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a successful strategy for heart
failure (HF) patients. The pre-requisite for the response is the evidence of electrical …

The observation that heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is often accompanied by
asynchronous contraction of the left ventricle, leading to a loss of mechanical efficiency in …

Objectives: We tested a circumferential mechanical dyssynchrony index (circumferential
uniformity ratio estimate [CURE]; 0 to 1, 1= synchrony) derived from magnetic resonance …
