It says that randomized clinical trials were performed in patients with heart failure to compare the effect of the combined process with the use of ICD therapy alone. It reveals that CRT-ICD showed consistency on reducing heart failure and electrocardiographic dyssynchrony....

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) applied to selected patients with heart failure (HF) improves their prognosis. In recent years, eligibility criteria for CRT have regularly changed. This study aimed to investigate the changes in eligibility of real-life HF patients for CRT over the past fifte...
Device therapy: Indications for ICD-CRT in mildly symptomatic heart failure. The investigators of the landmark MADIT-CRT trial have reported that cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in combination with an implantable cardioverte... J Holzmeister,WT Abraham - 《Nature Reviews Cardiology》 被引量...
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization (CRT) and combination (CRT-D) therapy have become an integral part of the management of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). ICDs treat ventricular arrhythmia and CRTs improve left ventricular systolic...
These Boston Scientific Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillators (CRT-Ds) are indicated for patients with heart failure who receive stable optimal pharmacologic therapy (OPT) for heart failure and who meet any one of the following classifications: Moderate to severe heart failure (NYHA Class III...
Currently, after the Predictors of Response to CRT and the Mayo Clinic studies,99 which support the indications in clinical guidelines, there is no definite role for the echocardiographic measurement of mechanical dyssynchrony to indicate the need for CRT in patients with heart failure. There is a...
