Cardiac resynchronization therapy tailored by echocardiographic evaluation of ventricular asynchrony.

TLDR
In patients with advanced heart failure and LBBB, baseline SPWMD is a strong predictor of the occurrence of reverse remodeling after CRT, thus suggesting its usefulness in identifying patients likely to benefit from biventricular pacing.

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.

Guidelines for cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy: The Task Force for Cardiac Pacing and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy of the European Society of Cardiology. Developed in collaboration with the European Heart Rhythm Association.

TL;DR: The ESC Guidelines and Expert Consensus Documents summarize and evaluate all currently available evidence on a particular issue with the aim to assist physicians in selecting the best management strategies for a typical 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 as mentioned in this paper.

Novel Speckle-Tracking Radial Strain From Routine Black-and-White Echocardiographic Images to Quantify Dyssynchrony and Predict Response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

TL;DR: Speckle-tracking radial strain can quantify dyssynchrony and predict immediate and long-term response to CRT and has potential for clinical application.

Recommendations for quantitation of the left ventricle by two-dimensional echocardiography. American Society of Echocardiography Committee on Standards, Subcommittee on Quantitation of Two-Dimensional Echocardiograms.

TL;DR: It is the opinion that current technology justifies the clinical use of the quantitative two-dimensional methods described in this article and the routine reporting of left ventricular ejection fraction, diastolic volume, mass, and wall motion score.

The design and analysis of clinical experiments

TL;DR: The Parallel Groups Design as mentioned in this paper is a special case of the Parallel Groups Study, and it is used to control for prognostic variables in linear regression analysis of linear regressions of linear models.
