ABSTRACT
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established treatment of patients with medically refractory, mild-to-severe systolic heart failure (HF), impaired left ventricular function, and wide QRS complex. The pathologic activation sequence observed in patients with abnormal QRS duration and morphology results in a dyssynchronous ventricular activation and contraction leading to cardiac remodeling, worsening systolic and diastolic function, and progressive HF. In this article, the authors aim to explore the current CRT literature, focusing their attentions on the promising innovation in this field.
