ABSTRACT
Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is an accepted treatment for heart failure patients with depressed left ventricular (LV) function and dyssynchrony. However, despite better clinical outcome and improved cardiac function after CRT in the majority of eligible heart failure patients, a large proportion of implanted patients do not seem to benefit clinically from this therapy. In this review we consider whether genetic factors may play a role in modulating response to CRT and summarise the few genetic studies that have investigated the role of genetic variation in candidate genes.
