Key result
Improvement in mitral regurgitation at 3 months predicts cardiac resynchronization therapy response and further MR improvement at 12 months.
Why the study?
Does mitral regurgitation improvement at 3 months predict CRT response and MR improvement at 12-month follow-up?
Does mitral regurgitation improvement at 3 months predict CRT response and MR improvement at 12-month follow-up?
Early improvement in mitral regurgitation at 3 months post-CRT predicts long-term CRT response and sustained MR improvement at 12 months, which may guide subsequent surgical decisions.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May aid early CRT response prediction; extends equivocal observational data but leaves practice change open.
