Key result
CRT effectively treats systolic heart failure and is associated with LV reverse remodeling.
Why the study?
Left ventricular remodelling in systolic heart failure leads to poor prognosis, and the concept of reverse remodelling with cardiac resynchronisation therapy is relatively new.
Does cardiac resynchronisation therapy promote reverse remodelling in patients with chronic, severe, systolic heart failure?

May support CRT consideration in systolic HF; extends review evidence on reverse remodelling yet leaves selection and durability open.
Does cardiac resynchronisation therapy promote reverse remodelling in patients with chronic, severe, systolic heart failure?
Cardiac resynchronisation therapy is an effective treatment for chronic, severe, systolic heart failure that promotes reverse left ventricular remodelling.
Sutton et al. (2006) conducted a review in Chronic, severe, systolic heart failure. Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) was evaluated. Cardiac resynchronisation therapy is an effective treatment for systolic heart failure and is associated with reverse remodelling of the left ventricle.
