Despite optimal medical therapy, dilated
heart failure
is associated with a dismal prognosis and relentless progression.
Intraventricular conduction delay
or bundle branch block is a marker of
heart failure
progression and worsening prognosis. Patients fitting this profile have been shown to benefit from a specific form of cardiac pacing now referred to as cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). This monograph is an in-depth review of the theory and consequences of ventricular dyssynchrony in dilated
heart failure
, and provides an overview of the major clinical trials of CRT. Practical considerations for achieving ventricular resynchronization are discussed, with an emphasis on biventricular pacing.
