Receipt of a cardiac-resynchronization therapy-defibrillator (CRT-D) offers long term benefit for patients with heart failure, reduced ejection fraction, and a widened QRS complex, according to a ...
We report the results of a simulation of an adaptive cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device performing biventricular pacing in which the atrioventricular (AV) delay and interventricular (VV) ...
CRT is a surgical procedure in which doctors implant a pacemaker in both the right and left sides of the heart to help your heart’s chambers beat together. The goal is to improve heart pumping ...
6MWD: 6-min walk distance; CARE-HF: Cardiac Resynchronization-Heart Failure; COMPANION: Comparison of Medical Therapy, Pacing and Defibrillation in Heart Failure; CRT-D: Cardiac resynchronization ...
A Baylor College of Medicine multi-institution, collaborative study to determine the effectiveness and safety of commonly used pacing treatments for cardiac resynchronization therapy in people with ...
We tested the hypothesis that prophylactic cardiac-resynchronization therapy in the form of biventricular stimulation with a pacemaker with or without a defibrillator would reduce the risk of death ...
Reduced cardiac efficiency caused by suboptimal synchronization of the heart's normal contraction might contribute to the development of or exacerbate heart failure. Conceptually and in practice ...
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), with or without a defibrillator, has been shown to improve symptoms, quality of life, and prognosis in patients with moderate-to-severe heart failure (HF) ...
To the Editor: A well-designed study aimed at showing the effect of cardiac resynchronization on mortality among patients with cardiac dyssynchrony, the Cardiac Resynchronization–Heart Failure ...
