Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) was proposed in the 1990s as a new therapy for
patients with heart failure and wide QRS with depressed left ventricular ejection fraction …

Abstract Purpose of Review Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) represents a well-
established and effective non-pharmaceutical heart failure (HF) treatment in selected …

Nuclear cardiac imaging refers to cardiac radiological diagnostic techniques performed with
the aid of radiopharmaceuticals, which are perfused into the myocardium as markers. These …

The present article reviews the literature on image-guided cardiac resynchronization therapy
(CRT) studies. Improved outcome to CRT has been associated with the placement of a left …

This paper reviews the literature on assessing electrical dyssynchrony for patient selection
in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The guideline-recommended …

Background Optimal positioning of the left ventricular (LV) lead is an important determinant
of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response. Objective Evaluate the feasibility of …

This paper reviews the current status of the knowledge on body surface potential map**
(BSPM) and ECG imaging (ECGI) methods for patient selection, left ventricular (LV) lead …

Inverse ECG imaging methods typically require 32–250 leads to create body surface
potential maps (BSPM), limiting their routine clinical use. This study evaluated the accuracy …

Despite advances in the field of cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT), response rates
and durability of therapy remain relatively static. Optimising device timing intervals may be …

Aims To evaluate the benefit of speckle tracking radial strain imaging (STRSI)-guided left
ventricular (LV) lead (LVL) positioning in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in …
