From the Departments of Cardiology (U.H., E.T.V.D.V., M.J.S., V.D., J.J.B., N.A.M.) and Medical Statistics and Bioinformatics (H.P.), Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands; and Interuniversity Cardiology Institute of the Netherlands (ICIN), Utrecht, The Netherlands (U.H.).
Background: Limited data are available on efficacy, safety, and long-term prognosis after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in elderly patients. We aimed at evaluating the effect of CRT, device-related adverse events, and long-term outcome after CRT among elderly patients.
Methods And Results: A total of 798 CRT recipients (208 elderly: age, ≥75 years; 590 nonelderly: age, <75 years) underwent clinical and echocardiographic evaluation at baseline and 6-month follow-up.

Significant advances in three-dimensional echocardiography have made this modality a powerful diagnostic tool in the cardiology clinic. It can provide accurate and reliable measurements of chamber size and function, including the quantification of left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony to guide patient selection for cardiac resynchron-isation therapy. Furthermore, three-dimensional echocardiography offers novel views and comprehensive anatomic definition of valvular and congenital abnormalities, improving diagnosis and preoperative planning.
