Abstract:
Several studies have demonstrated the beneficial effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with drug-refractory heart failure. A variable proportion, up to 30%, of CRT patients do not benefit from treatment. The lack of response to CRT has a variety of potential causes. The implantation process is fundamental to the success of CRT, since little can subsequently be done to improve the CRT response. The authors reviewed all the geometrical and electrical parameters that could guide the CRT implant and predict its response.

01:25Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
