Abstract: Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) greatly reduces morbidity and mortality in patients with dyssynchronous heart failure. However, despite tremendous effort, response has been variable and can be further improved. Although optimizing left ventricular lead placement (LVLP)… read more here.

Abstract: In patients with dyssynchronous heart failure (DHF), cardiac conduction abnormalities cause the regional distribution of myocardial work to be non-homogeneous. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) using an implantable, programmed biventricular pacemaker/defibrillator, can improve the synchrony of… read more here.
