Why the study?
Does echocardiography-guided optimization of AV and VV delays improve clinical status and LVEF in patients with CRT?
Does echocardiography-guided optimization of AV and VV delays improve clinical status and LVEF in patients with CRT?
Echocardiography-guided optimization of AV and VV delays may offer additional clinical and echocardiographic improvement in patients treated with CRT.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change CRT optimization practice; leaves open benefit of echo-guided AV/VV delays pending randomized trials.
Trifunović et al. (2009) studied this question.
