Why the study?
Does CRT-D improve survival compared to CRT alone in heart failure patients with severely depressed left ventricular dysfunction and ventricular dyssynchrony?
Does CRT-D improve survival compared to CRT alone in heart failure patients with severely depressed left ventricular dysfunction and ventricular dyssynchrony?
The additional survival benefit of adding a defibrillator to cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure patients remains uncertain and requires careful patient selection based on age, comorbidities, and NYHA class.

Berisso et al. (2010) conducted a review in Heart failure. Cardiac resynchronization therapy with cardioversion-defibrillation (CRT-D) vs. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) alone was evaluated.
