Refining the criteria for patient selection for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) may
improve its outcomes. The study objective was to determine the effect of scar location, scar …

It was shown that improvement in left ventricular (LV) function and reverse remodeling after
cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) were greater in patients with nonischemic …

Background: Left ventricular (LV) postero‐lateral scar and total scar burden are factors
responsible for a poor response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Contrast …

Background It had not been reported that myocardial scar shown on gated myocardial
perfusion SPECT (GMPS) might reduce after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In …

186 Objectives The extent of scar in the LV may play an important role in predicting
response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) outcome. However, there is still a need …

Heart failure is one of the major problems in cardiology. Patients who have ischemic or non-
ischemic heart disease often encounter heart failure later in life. Gatedelectrocardiogram …

Contrarily, myocardial scarring reduces the effect of CRT. 2 Both the extent and location of
myocardial scar impact the outcome after CRT, particularly with septal scars. 3 Nevertheless …
