Why the study?
Does cardiac resynchronization therapy improve NYHA functional class and echocardiographic parameters in patients with heart failure?
Does cardiac resynchronization therapy improve NYHA functional class and echocardiographic parameters in patients with heart failure?
CRT improves functional class and reverse remodeling in about half of patients, but standard echocardiographic dyssynchrony parameters lack reliable predictive value for patient selection.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Caution against relying on standard dyssynchrony parameters for CRT selection; leaves open validation of superior predictors in prospective trials.
