摘要
Despite significant advances in the pharmacological treatment of heart failure, rates of mortality and morbidity from the condition remain a concern. The introduction of cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) has been a welcome addition to the treatment strategy of patients who display ventricular dyssynchrony. Several control studies have shown significant benefits from this intervention in particular improved mortality and reduction in symptom burden. In this short review, we focus on several concepts of CRT and discuss the implications of surgical implantation of the left ventricular (LV) lead as compared to the standard transvenous approach.
