Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a well-established treatment modality for ambulatory patients with heart failure (HF) who have prolonged QRS, left bundle branch block, reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, and New York Heart Association class II-IV. CRT has been shown to induce reverse LV remodeling and improve HF symptoms and clinical outcomes. About one-third of CRT recipients are considered non-responders. Patient selection, LV lead location, LV lead selection, multipoint pacing, and optimization of the atrioventricular and ventriculo-ventricular intervals were all shown to be associated with a better CRT response rate. Herein, we review the determinants of CRT response.

Effectiveness of bundle of His pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with heart failure combined with wide QRS complex: a meta-analysis.
Am J Transl Res

Department of Cardiology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University Nanchang 330006, Jiangxi, China.
Objective: To evaluate systematically the feasibility and effectiveness of His Bundle Pacing (HBP) for cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, EMbase, WOS, Cochrane Library, Medline, and SinoMed for studies published between December 2003 and December 2023. Primary clinical outcomes included implantation success, QRS wave duration, pacing threshold, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function class, and complications.

Background: Accurate prediction for survival in individualized patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator (CRT-D) is difficult.
Methods: We analyzed the New Japan cardiac device treatment registry (JCDTR) database to develop a survival prediction model for CRT-D recipients.
Results: Four hundred and eighty-two CRT-D recipients, at the implantation year 2018-2021, with a QRS width ≥120 ms and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤35% at baseline, were analyzed.
Impact of polypharmacy on clinical outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Department of Cardiology and Clinical Examination, Faculty of Medicine Oita University Yufu Oita Japan.
Background: The prevalence rates of heart failure (HF) and hyperpolypharmacy have increased with the aging population. While a negative impact of hyperpolypharmacy on HF clinical outcomes has already been reported, the effects of hyperpolypharmacy on patients with advanced HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) remain unclear.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated data from 147 patients with advanced HFrEF who underwent CRT between March 2004 and June 2020.
Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology for the Management of Adults With Congenital Heart Disease.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly in newborns. Advances in catheter and surgical techniques led to the majority of these patients surviving into adulthood, leading to evolving challenges due to the emergence of long-term complications such as arrhythmias. Interventional electrophysiology (EP) has had remarkable advances over the last few decades, and various techniques and devices have been explored to treat adult patients with CHD.
