TLDR
Cardiac sympathetic imaging with meta-iodobenzylguanidine can help in understanding how sympathetic overactivity exerts its deleterious actions, which may result in better therapy and outcome for patients with HF.Abstract:
Cardiac sympathetic imaging with meta-iodobenzylguanidine (mIBG) is a noninvasive tool to risk stratify patients with heart failure (HF). In patients with ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy, cardiac mIBG activity is a very powerful predictor of survival. Cardiac sympathetic imaging can help in understanding how sympathetic overactivity exerts its deleterious actions, which may result in better therapy and outcome for patients with HF.read more

ASNC imaging guidelines for SPECT nuclear cardiology procedures: Stress, protocols, and tracers
TL;DR: Treadmill exercise is the most widely used stress modality and several treadmill exercise protocols are described which differ in the speed and grade of treadmill inclination and may be more appropriate for specific patient populations.

TL;DR: In patients with NYHA class II or III CHF and LVEF of 35 percent or less, amiodarone has no favorable effect on survival, whereas single-lead, shock-only ICD therapy reduces overall mortality by 23 percent.

The effect of cardiac resynchronization on morbidity and mortality in heart failure
John G.F. Cleland,Jean-Claude Daubert,Erland Erdmann,Nick Freemantle,Daniel Gras,Lukas Kappenberger,Luigi Tavazzi +6 more
TL;DR: Cardiac resynchronization has been shown to reduce symptoms and improve left ventricular function in patients with heart failure due to systolic dysfunction and cardiac dyssynchrony.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested the hypothesis that prophylactic cardiac-resynchronization therapy in the form of biventricular stimulation with a pacemaker with or without a defibrillator would reduce the risk of death and hospitalization among patients with advanced chronic heart failure and intraventricular conduction delays.
