Left ventricular dyssynchrony predicts response and prognosis after cardiac resynchronization therapy

TL;DR: Patients with LV dyssynchrony >/=65 ms respond to CRT and have an excellent prognosis after CRT, and Receiver-operator characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that an optimal cutoff value of 65 ms for LV dySSynchrony yielded a sensitivity and specificity of 80% to predict clinical improvement and of 92% to Predict LV reverse remodeling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noninvasive Evaluation of the Aortic Root With Multislice Computed Tomography : Implications for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

TL;DR: The anatomy of the aortic root was assessed noninvasively with multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and the MSCT may be helpful for avoiding paravalvular leakage and coronary occlusion and may facilitate the selection of candidates for transcatheter aortsic valve replacement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic value of multislice computed tomography coronary angiography in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.

TL;DR: Multislice computed tomography coronary angiography provides independent prognostic information over baseline clinical risk factors in patients with known and suspected CAD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Left ventricular dyssynchrony predicts benefit of cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with end-stage heart failure before pacemaker implantation

TL;DR: It appears that 20% of patients do not respond to this expensive therapy despite the use of selection criteria, and the presence of left ventricular dyssynchrony is needed to result in improvement after cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship between QRS duration and left ventricular dyssynchrony in patients with end-stage heart failure.

TL;DR: Patients with end‐stage heart failure and a wide QRS complex are considered candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) but 20% to 30% of patients do not respond to CRT, and lack of left ventricular dyssynchrony may explain the nonresponse.
