Do Echo Doppler parameters predict reverse remodelling and mortality in heart failure patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy?
Echo Doppler parameters including Q-to-E-wave-delay and interventricular mechanical delay are useful predictors of reverse remodeling and survival in heart failure patients undergoing CRT.
Wiesbauer et al. (2008) studied this question.
