Responders vs Non-responders to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: a review article
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: More than two decades after the introduction of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) into clinical practice, respond to highly effective treatments for refractory drug heart failure (HF) approximately one-third of candidates persist to fail. This article will discuss indications for initiating a CRT, the definition of a response to a CRT, steps in response to a CRT, predictors of a CRT response, clinical judgment of patients who do not respond to CRTs, and elimination for possible reversible non-response causes. Here we have reviewed non-response CRTs in many ways. In short, multidisciplinary efforts are needed to overcome them because of the multifactorial causes of non-response (NR). So far, several factors has slowed the progress, such as limitations of NR consensus definitions and technology for therapeutic delivery.
