Role of echocardiography in selection of patients for biventricular pacing therapy
Current Cardiology Reports, 09/24/09

Agarwal R et al. – Echocardiographic approaches have emerged to quantify mechanical dyssynchrony with greater specificity than QRS duration alone. Although these methods are complex, exciting, and highly accurate for predicting response to CRT in single–center studies, they lack widespread applicability and validation to replace current criteria for device implantation. Use of echocardiography to define dyssynchrony and the impact of promising imaging methods for future patient selection for CRT are discussed.
