Journal ArticleDOI

Guidelines for the management of atrial fibrillation

TL;DR: Guidelines summarize and evaluate all currently available evidence on a particular issue with the aim of assisting physicians in selecting the best management strategy for an individual patient suffering from a given condition, taking into account the impact on outcome, as well as the risk–benefit ratio of particular diagnostic or therapeutic means.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guidelines on myocardial revascularization: The Task Force on Myocardial Revascularization of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS)

TL;DR: Guidelines and Expert Consensus Documents summarize and evaluate all available evidence to assist physicians in selecting the best management strategy for an individual patient suffering from a given condition, taking into account the impact on outcome and the risk–benefit ratio of diagnostic or therapeutic means.

Guidelines on myocardial revascularization.

Journal ArticleDOI

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

Effect of posterolateral scar tissue on clinical and echocardiographic improvement after cardiac resynchronization therapy.

TL;DR: CRT does not reduce LV dyssynchrony in patients with transmural scar tissue in the posterolateral LV segments, resulting in clinical and echocardiographic nonresponse to CRT.
