Abstract

CRT offers today another option for some patients with heart failure, side by side with more "traditional" therapies like drugs, assist devices, and heart transplantation. Clinical studies show that in properly selected patients a significant improvement in hemodynamic parameters and clinical status can be achieved by BV pacing. It is still unknown whether this type of therapy will also result in a survival benefit for patients with severe heart failure. The next few years certainly promise to be as exciting for CRT as were the last few.
