Cardiac resynchronization therapy for the treatment of heart failure

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy
Vikrant Nayar, Peter J Pugh

Abstract

Heart failure is posing an increasing burden on healthcare systems around the world, a consequence of increased survival from acute coronary syndromes and life-prolonging medications. Cardiac resynchronization therapy has become a ratified and established therapy for heart failure to reduce both the morbidity and mortality of the condition. Its prophylactic role in patients who have minimal symptoms to delay future deterioration is a novel development. The indications for this therapy continue to evolve, mainly as a result of company-sponsored multicenter trial data aimed at broadening its usage. Uncertainty remains on how to accurately identify individuals who will respond to resynchronization therapy and how best to manage patients following device implant.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
