Non-response to cardiac resynchronization therapy remains a significant problem in up to
30% of patients. Multisite stimulation has emerged as a way of potentially overcoming non …

The right atrium (RA) plays a pivotal role in electromechanical and endocrine regulation of
the heart. Its peculiar anatomical features and phasic mechanical function make it distinct …

Abstract Aims Up to 30–45% of implanted patients are non‐responders to CRT. We
evaluated the role of a 'CRT team'using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and longitudinal …

Objectives This study evaluated if selecting the left ventricular (LV) target segment by
echocardiography-derived late mechanical activation, with access to multimodality imaging …

Aim Left ventricular (LV) lead placement in the latest activated region is an important
determinant of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). We investigated the …

Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) greatly reduces morbidity and mortality in patients
with dyssynchronous heart failure. However, despite tremendous effort, response has been …

Despite being increasingly recognized as a specific disease, at the present time left bundle
branch block (LBBB)-induced cardiomyopathy is neither formally included among …

Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) has an established role in the management of
patients with heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF< 35%) and …

The article aimed to detect the early cardiac dysfunction in patients with systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE) and predict the relationships between the strain parameters and the …

Background There is still a significant proportion of patients with heart failure who fail to
improve after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The investigators used parametric …
