Clinical versus echocardiographic parameters to assess response to cardiac resynchronization therapy
Abstract
Currently, a clear definition of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is still lacking, and clinical and echocardiographic end points are used. It is also unclear whether patients with clinical responses also improve in echocardiographic end points (and vice versa). To better understand and define response to CRT, the relation between improvement in clinical and echocardiographic parameters was evaluated in 144 patients.
