Despite major advancements in cardiovascular medicine, sudden cardiac death (SCD)
continues to be an enormous medical and societal challenge, claiming millions of lives …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is one of the most effective therapies for heart
failure with reduced ejection fraction and leads to improved quality of life, reductions in heart …

Sudden cardiac arrest due to lethal ventricular arrhythmias is a major cause of mortality
worldwide and results in more years of potential life lost than any individual cancer. Most of …

Aims Patients with non-ischemic systolic heart failure have an increased risk of sudden
cardiac death (SCD). Myocardial fibrosis, detected as late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is one of the most effective therapies for heart
failure with reduced ejection fraction and leads to improved quality of life, reductions in heart …

Aims This study aimed to investigate the impact of cardiac resynchronization therapy with a
defibrillator (CRT-D) on mortality, comparing it with CRT with a pacemaker (CRT-P) …

Aims Randomized controlled trials have shown that cardiac resynchronization therapy
(CRT) prolongs survival in patients with heart failure. No studies have explored survival after …

Aims There is a continuing debate as to whether cardiac resynchronization therapy-
defibrillation (CRT-D) is superior to CRT-pacing (CRT-P), particularly in patients with non …

Aims Randomized data on the efficacy/safety of cardiac resynchronization therapy with vs.
without defibrillator (CRT-D,-P) in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are …
