Aims: The improved clinical response in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) over LBBB-free patients treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator (CRT-D) is commonly attributed to an LBBB abnormality. We aimed to find an alternative explanation.
Methods And Results: We analysed an immediate effect of selecting the LBBB group of patients in a cohort of 63 non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (non-ICM) and 83 ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) patients treated with CRT-D; 75% of non-ICM and 51% of ICM patients had an LBBB abnormality on the electrocardiogram, with a significant difference (P = 0.

Objective: Due to contradictory results of previous studies evaluating the association between ischemic stroke (IS) and thrombophilic polymorphisms, their routine screening in IS patients, particularly those older than 60 years, is not recommended. We evaluated the differences in the distribution of rs6025 and rs1799963 polymorphisms according to IS subtypes and their interaction with smoking.
Methods: We conducted a case-control study of 423 hospital-based consecutive survivors of their first-ever IS and 614 population-based controls.
