Key result
Multidisciplinary care in patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy reduced heart failure hospitalization, cardiac transplantation, or mortality (HR 0.62; 95% CI 0.46-0.83; P=0.001).
Why the study?
Does a multidisciplinary care approach reduce the composite of heart failure hospitalization, cardiac transplantation, or all-cause mortality in patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy?

An integrated multidisciplinary care approach for patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy is associated with a significant reduction in mortality, heart failure hospitalization, and cardiac transplantation compared to conventional care.

Multidisciplinary care was associated with better CRT outcomes; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before practice change.
Altman et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Heart failure receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (n=427). Multidisciplinary care vs. Conventional care was evaluated on Combined endpoint of heart failure hospitalization, cardiac transplantation, or all-cause mortality (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.46-0.83, p=0.001). Multidisciplinary care in patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy reduced heart failure hospitalization, cardiac transplantation, or mortality (HR 0.62; 95% CI 0.46-0.83; P=0.001).
