Does ICD-CRT reduce death or heart failure hospitalization compared to ICD alone in patients with mild-to-moderate heart failure (LVEF ≤ 30%, QRS ≥ 120 ms, NYHA II-III)?
Does ICD-CRT reduce death or heart failure hospitalization compared to ICD alone in patients with mild-to-moderate heart failure (LVEF ≤ 30%, QRS ≥ 120 ms, NYHA II-III)?
CRT combined with an ICD significantly reduces death or heart failure hospitalization in patients with mild-to-moderate heart failure compared to an ICD alone.
