Non-invasive cardiac magnetic resonance and electrical myocardial imaging assessment of CRT in patients with heart failure and left bundle branch block
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: CRT is an effective treatment for patients with heart failure and intraventricular conduction delay. However, clinical non-response rates remain unacceptably high; emphasizing the need for improved selection criteria. Central to the underlying mechanism of resynchronization is the relationship between mechanical and electrical activation. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that mechanical and electrical activation can be quantified in patients with CRT devices combining cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and electrical myocardial imaging (EMI).
