This review highlights the potential applications of pressure-volume measurements by conductance catheter for assessing left ventricular function and mechanical dyssynchrony during cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Supports exploration of conductance catheter PV analysis in CRT; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.
Pressure-volume measurements by conductance catheter enable assessment of systolic and diastolic left ventricular function and quantification of mechanical dyssynchrony in a continuous and on-line fashion. The present review gives an overview of the (potential) applications of this methodology in relation to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
