William T. Abraham,Westby G. Fisher,Andrew L. Smith,David B. Delurgio,Angel R. Leon,Evan Loh,Dusan Z. Kocovic,Milton Packer,Alfredo L. Clavell,David L. Hayes,Myrvin H. Ellestad,Robin J. Trupp,Jackie Underwood,Faith Pickering,Cindy Truex,Peggy McAtee,John C. Messenger +16 more
TL;DR: Cardiac resynchronization results in significant clinical improvement in patients who have moderate-to-severe heart failure and an intraventricular conduction delay.

Cardiac resynchronization in chronic heart failure
TL;DR: Cardiac resynchronization results in significant clinical improvement in patients who have moderate-to-severe heart failure and an intraventricular conduction delay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy on Left Ventricular Size and Function in Chronic Heart Failure
Martin St. John Sutton,Ted Plappert,William T. Abraham,Andrew L. Smith,David B. Delurgio,Angel R. Leon,Evan Loh,Dusan Z. Kocovic,Westby G. Fisher,Myrvin H. Ellestad,John C. Messenger,Kristin M. Kruger,Kathryn Hilpisch,Michael Hill +13 more
TL;DR: CRT in patients with moderate-to-severe heart failure who were treated with optimal medical therapy is associated with reverse LV remodeling, improved systolic and diastolic function, and decreased MR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation and Entrainment Mapping Defines the Tricuspid Annulus as the Anterior Barrier in Typical Atrial Flutter
Jonathan M. Kalman,Jeffrey E. Olgin,Leslie A. Saxon,Westby G. Fisher,Randall J. Lee,Michael D. Lesh +5 more
TL;DR: Closely spaced sites around the tricuspid annulus are activated sequentially, and are all within the flutter circuit according to entrainment criteria, demonstrating that the trICuspidannulus constitutes a continuous anterior barrier constraining the reentrant wave front of human counterclockwise atrial flutter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiofrequency Catheter Modification of the Sinus Node for “Inappropriate” Sinus Tachycardia
Randall J. Lee,Jonathan M. Kalman,Adam P. Fitzpatrick,Laurence M. Epstein,Westby G. Fisher,Jeffrey E. Olgin,Michael D. Lesh,Melvin M. Scheinman +7 more
TL;DR: Sinus node modification is feasible in humans and should be considered as an alternative to complete atrioventricular junctional ablation for patients with disabling inappropriate sinus tachycardia refractory to medical management.
