eComment: Does cardiac resynchronisation therapy improve survival andquality of life in patients with end-stage heart failure?
Key result
Cardiac resynchronization therapy reverses left ventricular remodeling, decreases end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes, and increases ejection fraction in patients with heart failure.
