Clinical features and predictors of lethal ventricular tachyarrhythmias after cardiac resynchronization therapy for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death

Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces the mortality rate among patients with advanced heart failure (HF) and a wide QRS complex. Despite such clinical improvement, the clinical features of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VA) and the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) among these...
