Objective Determine the prognostic impact of scar quantification (scar%) by cardiac
magnetic resonance (CMR) in predicting heart failure admission, death and left ventricular …

Introduction: Around 30% of patients do not respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy
(CRT). Nonischemic cardiomyopathy has been identified as an independent predictor of …

BACKGROUND: Up to 50% of patients do not respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy
(CRT). Recent work has focused on quantifying left ventricular (LV) scar, with conflicting …

Aims There is insufficient evidence to implant a combined cardiac resynchronization therapy
(CRT) device with defibrillation capabilities (CRT-D) in all CRT candidates. The aim of the …

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 …

Aim The influence of location and extent of transmural scar and its relation with
dyssynchrony in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) was investigated as posterolateral …

Purpose To investigate the relationship between vectorcardiography (VCG) and myocardial
scar on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, and whether combining these metrics …

Abstract Introduction Electrocardiographic (ECG) LV scar quantification may improve
prediction of CRT response. Methods and results Data were abstracted in 76 patients who …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze whether scar characterization could
improve the risk stratification for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac …

Abstract Aims At present, 20–30% of patients do not respond to cardiac resynchronization
therapy (CRT). In this study, the relation between the extent of viable myocardium and scar …
