Objectives This study evaluated if selecting the left ventricular (LV) target segment by
echocardiography-derived late mechanical activation, with access to multimodality imaging …

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 …

Background: Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) is an effective treatment for
dyssynchronous heart failure, however, approximately a third of patients do not respond …

It has been proposed that dyssynchrony assessment before cardiac resynchronization
therapy (CRT) implantation could help predict response to CRT. It is known that up to 40% of …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has had a major favourable impact on the care of
patients with symptomatic heart failure, left ventricular ejection fraction< 35% and enlarged …

Over the past 20 years, implantation and management of cardiac resynchronization therapy
(CRT) devices has evolved considerably. However, despite improvements in devices, leads …

In patients with heart failure and prolonged QRS duration, randomized clinical trials have
shown that cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is associated with improvement in …

Aims Optimal delivery of CRT requires appropriate patient selection and device
implantation. Echocardiographic predictors of CRT response individually appear to enhance …

Echocardiographic imaging has played a major role in patient selection for cardiac
resynchronization therapy (CRT) as the most commonly used clinical means to determine …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an effective procedure for patients with heart
failure but 30% of patients do not respond. This may be due to sub-optimal placement of the …
