Key result
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), particularly biventricular pacing, provides clinical benefit for patients with dilated heart failure and intraventricular conduction delay or bundle branch block.
Why the study?

Supports CRT in dilated HF with conduction delay; leaves open optimal selection and programming.
Kerwin et al. (2003) conducted a review in Dilated heart failure with intraventricular conduction delay or bundle branch block. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) was evaluated. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), particularly biventricular pacing, provides clinical benefit for patients with dilated heart failure and intraventricular conduction delay or bundle branch block.
