Why the study?

Does cardiac resynchronization therapy improve response in patients with atypical right bundle branch block and delayed left ventricular activation?

Key Points

To determine whether patients with right bundle branch block and concomitant delayed left ventricular activation respond favorably to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Evaluated patients presenting with atypical right bundle branch block patterns suggestive of delayed left ventricular conduction.
Assessed response to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Patients with atypical right bundle branch block indicative of delayed left ventricular conduction may achieve a satisfactory response to cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Structured PICO

Does cardiac resynchronization therapy improve response in patients with atypical right bundle branch block and delayed left ventricular activation?

P

Population

Patients with atypical right bundle branch block (RBBB) and concomitant delayed left ventricular (LV) activation

I

Intervention

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)

O

Outcome

Response to CRT

Patients with atypical RBBB and delayed LV activation may represent a specific subset that benefits from cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Ask about this paper

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.

Implication

Atypical RBBB with delayed LV conduction may identify CRT candidates; leaves open prospective validation before changing selection criteria.

Abstract

Patients with atypical RBBB, which is a pattern highly suggestive of concomitant delayed LV conduction, may show a satisfactory response to CRT.
