Among patients with a wide QRS, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) seems to help patients with an intraventricular conduction delay (IVCD) as much as it does those with left bundle branch block ...

Biventricular pacing therapy is effective in patients with severe congestive heart failure. Strain Doppler imaging (SDI) is a new tool for measuring regional myocardial deformation. We evaluated ...

June 18 (UPI) --People at a risk for heart failure often turn to a defibrillator to remove that threat, but for some patients that's not always the answer, new research shows. For patients with heart ...

A new consensus document released this week, complete with treatment algorithms, hopes to reduce the number of potentially deadly conduction disturbances following TAVR, including new-onset left ...

The interventricular septum separates the heart’s two ventricles and plays a vital role in maintaining correct bloodflow. Sometimes a defect can occur or be present from birth. This can increase the ...

Certain groups of heart failure patients may see improved heart function with cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D) if traditional implantable cardioverter defibrillator ...
