Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disorder resulting in the loss of α-motor neurons. Nusinersen is an antisense oligonucleotide administered intrathecally to SMA patients that corrects the splicing defect of SMN2. Not all SMA patients respond equally to the therapy and work is in progress to identify biomarkers that may help stratify to SMA patients.

Restoring electrical synchrony with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reverses the heart failure phenotype developed by left-ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony. This study aimed to identify new predictors of response to LV-only fusion pacing CRT. A select group of patients with CRT-P indications received a right atrium (RA)/LV DDD pacing system.

: When compared to biventricular pacing, fusion CRT pacing was linked to a decreased incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). There is a gap in the knowledge regarding exclusive fusion CRT without interference with RV pacing, and all the current data are based on populations of patients with intermittent fusion pacing. : To assess left atrium remodeling and AF incidence in a real-life population of permanent fusion CRT-P.

Background: The left bundle branch block, nonischemic heart failure (HF) and female gender are the most powerful predictors of a super response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). It is important to identify super responders who can derive most benefits from CRT. We aimed to establish a predicting model that could be used for prognosis of a super response to CRT in short-term period.

Background: Prediction of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response, particularly a super-response, is of great importance.
Study Question: The aim of our study was to assess the predictors for super-responders in CRT.
Study Design: We conducted a retrospective, observational study, which finally included 622 patients with heart failure treated with CRT between January 2008 and May 2020 who had a minimal follow-up of 6 months after CRT.
