Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves symptoms and reduces mortality in
heart failure (HF) patients, but little data exist on the efficacy of CRT in the elderly. The aim of …

Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) leads to reverse ventricular remodelling,
improved functional capacity, and better clinical outcome in patients with advanced chronic …

Aim Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a valid therapeutic option for patients with
heart failure (HF). However, the elderly population was not well represented in the …

Background Clinical or echocardiographic mid-term responses to cardiac resynchronization
therapy (CRT) may have a different influence on a long-term prognosis of heart failure …

Introduction Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has modified the prognosis of chronic
heart failure (HF) with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. However, 30% of patients do not …

Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of mortality and hospitalization in the elderly. However,
data are scarce about their response to device treatment such as cardiac resynchronization …

Background: Solid evidence shows that cardiac resynchronization thera py (CRT) improves
prognosis, physi cal capacity and quality of life in se lected groups of patients with chronic …

Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is currently limited to those with left
ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)≤ 35%. To evaluate whether patients with LVEF> 35 …

Aims Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves cardiac function, heart failure
symptoms, and prognosis in selected patients. Many baseline characteristics associated …

Background Although improvement in left ventricular (LV) function has been shown to
portend superior short-term outcomes in patients with heart failure undergoing cardiac …
