QRS pattern and improvement in right and left ventricular function after cardiac resynchronization therapy: a radionuclide study

QRS pattern and improvement in right and left ventricular function after cardiac resynchronization therapy: a radionuclide study

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Predicting response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) remains a challenge. We evaluated the role of baseline QRS pattern to predict response in terms of improvement in biventricular ejection fraction (EF).</p> <p>...
