We 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 ...

This trial was designed to determine whether cardiac-resynchronization therapy (CRT) with biventricular pacing would reduce the risk of death or heart-failure events in patients with mild cardiac ...

This can sometimes lead to heart failure. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a surgical procedure doctors can use to implant a pacemaker to treat the irregular heart rhythm contributing to ...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is widely used to improve cardiac pump function and prolong life in patients with heart failure, but 30–50% do not respond to treatment Appropriate ...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), also called biventricular pacing, uses a special kind of pacemaker, called a biventricular pacemaker, designed to help the ventricles contract more normally.

Known as the MADIT-CHIC study, it was the first of its kind to assess whether cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) could improve heart function in patients with congestive heart failure and ...

EBR Systems Inc. raised AU$55.9 million (US$36 million) to commercialize its Wise cardiac resynchronization therapy system ...

The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines on cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) are published online today in European Heart Journal. The use of pacemakers ...

Opens in a new tab or window NEW ORLEANS -- Among patients with heart failure, conduction system pacing-guided cardiac resynchronization therapy was associated with improvements in left ...

Some of these patients, particularly those with NYHA class II/III HF, may be candidates for a variety of device-based interventions, including cardiac resynchronization therapy, cardiac ...
