Does cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) improve outcomes in paediatric and congenital heart disease patients with heart failure associated with ventricular pacing?
CRT efficacy in pediatric and congenital heart disease varies widely based on anatomical and pathophysiological substrates.
Heart failure associated with ventricular pacing is the largest indication for CRT in paediatric and congenital heart disease. CRT efficacy varies widely with the underlying anatomical and pathophysiological substrate.
Janoušek et al. (2009) studied this question.
