Objectives: This study was designed to predict the response and prognosis after cardiac
resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). Background …

Background—Recent studies have demonstrated that a positive response to cardiac
resynchronization therapy (CRT) is related to the presence of preimplantation left ventricular …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the clinical benefit of cardiac
resynchronization therapy (CRT) can be prospectively predicted by means of the baseline …

Objectives: We sought to determine whether radial left ventricular (LV) asynchrony in
patients with heart failure predicts systolic function improvement with cardiac …

Aim To date, most published echocardiographic methods have assessed left ventricular (LV)
dyssynchrony (DYS) alone as a predictor for response to cardiac resynchronization therapy …

Objectives: The purpose of this research was to evaluate right ventricular (RV) remodeling
after six months of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Background: Cardiac …

Objectives: We sought to investigate the impact of six months of cardiac resynchronization
therapy (CRT) on echocardiographic variables of left ventricular (LV) function. Background …

BACKGROUND: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is currently indicated in patients
with moderate to severe heart failure, a wide QRS complex and significant left ventricular …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that a combined
echocardiographic assessment of longitudinal dyssynchrony by tissue Doppler imaging …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of cardiac
resynchronization therapy (CRT) with respect to heart failure etiology among patients in the …
