Key result
CRT is linked to reversed wall thickness inhomogeneity by thickening early-activated and thinning late-activated segments.
Why the study?
Does cardiac resynchronization therapy homogenize regional myocardial work and wall thickness in patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy and conduction delays?
Observational (n=26)
Does cardiac resynchronization therapy homogenize regional myocardial work and wall thickness in patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy and conduction delays?
p-value: p=<0.001
Correction of dys-synchrony with CRT homogenizes regional myocardial work and wall thickness in patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy.

Supports CRT remodeling effects in non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy; leaves open outcome benefits pending prospective validation.
Cvijić et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy with conduction delay (n=26). Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) vs. Baseline (before CRT) was evaluated on Changes in segmental left ventricular wall thickness and regional myocardial work (p=<0.001). Cardiac resynchronization therapy reversed regional wall thickness inhomogeneity by increasing thickness in early-activated segments and thinning late-activated segments (P<0.001).
