The Relationship between Optimization for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy by Measurement of dp/dt and the Middle-to-long-term Prognosis of Heart Failure Patients

The Relationship between Optimization for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy by Measurement of dp/dt and the Middle-to-long-term Prognosis of Heart Failure Patients

Background: The relationship between optimization according to left ventricular (LV) dp/dt, changes in LV performance, and prognosis of heart failure patients who undergo cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) remains unclear. Methods: We studied 27 consecutive patients who underwent CRT implantati...
