Assessing Non-invasive Studies to Evaluate Resynchronization Pacing Effectiveness in the Young.

Appropriate non-invasive assessments (ECHO/ECG) of cardiac resynchronization pacing therapy (CRT) among younger patients (pts) with/without (w/wo) congenital heart disease (CHD) are not established. Ejection fraction (EF) and QRS can be unreliable due to anatomy, surgical repairs, and pre-existing pacemakers (PM). This study correlates updated non-invasive studies, including newer strain values, with clinical and invasive hemodynamic assessments of CRT response in the young.
