Background
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves symptoms and survival in selected patients with systolic heart failure and ventricular conduction delay. In subjects without prior life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia, clinicians have to select between implanting a CRT pacemaker (CRT-P) or a more complex device with additional defibril...

... gadolinium enhancement imaging 15 min after gadolinium administration did not reveal significant midmyocardial fibrosis, infarction scar, or post-myocarditis remnants (Figure 2, bottom). Some subepicardial fibrosis was found at the inferior right ventricular insertion in the interventricular septum ( Figure 3). Almost 3 months later, the patient presented for a follow-up. ...

... Medical/Abbott) was implanted. Chest X-ray on the day thereafter confirmed stable lead position with the quadripolar LV electrode in a lateral position and excluded a pneumothorax (Figure 3). On ECG, a reduction in QRS duration from the initial 185 ms to 142 ms was observed with biventricular pacing ( Figure 1B). ...

Rationale:
Adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) effectively suppresses central sleep apnoea (CSA) but has been associated with increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in chronic heart failure (HF) patients with reduced ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF). All-cause and, especially, cardiovascular mortality in chronic HF is highly correlated...
Myocarditis is defined as a myocardial injury concomitant with myocardial dysfunction. Several causes are associated with it, including infectious versus inflammatory and inherited cardiomyopathies. It can be acute, subacute, or chronic, and it can present as focal versus diffuse myocardial dysfunction. Viruses diseases, including the Coxsackie B3...
Background:
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a common yet a largely underdiagnosed entity in developing countries. It is one treatable condition that is known to adversely affect the mortality and morbidity in heart failure (HF). This study is one of the first attempts aimed at studying SDB in chronic HF patients from an Indian subcontinent.

Background
Adaptive cardiac resynchronization therapy (aCRT) is associated with improved clinical outcomes. Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has shown encouraging results as an alternative option for aCRT. A technique that can be accomplished effectively using LBBAP combined with coronary venous pacing (LOT-aCRT). We aimed to assess the feasi...
Background
Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) may offer greater physiological benefits than traditional biventricular pacing (BiVP). However, there are limited data comparing the efficacy of LBBAP vs BiVP in patients with systolic heart failure (HF).
Objective
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the feasibility and electromechanic...
