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

Focal But Not Diffuse Fibrosis Burden Predicts CRT Remodeling Response Introduction
Many heart failure patients with dyssynchrony do not reverse remodel (RR) in response to …

Background There is a need for improved selection criteria for cardiac resynchronization
therapy (CRT). High myocardial scar burden has been associated with worse outcome in …

Background Vectorcardiographic QRS area (QRS area) predicts clinical outcomes after
cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Myocardial scar adversely affects clinical …

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

Background Left ventricular scar, including global scar and lateral wall, plays an important
role in predicting response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Materials and …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Objective: To develop and validate a prognostic risk index of cardiovascular mortality after
cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT). Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: District …
