Abstract: BackgroundCardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is the recommended treatment by leading global guidelines. However, 30%-40% of selected patients are non-responders.ObjectiveTo develop an echocardiographic model to predict cardiac death or transplantation (Tx) 1 year after CRT.MethodObservational, prospective study, with the inclusion of 116 patients, aged 64.89 ± 11.18 years, 69.8% male, 68,1% in NYHA FC III and 31,9% in FC IV, 71.55% with left bundle-branch block, and median ejection fraction (EF) of 29%.

“…The study compared echocardiographic evaluation pre-implantation and 6 to 12 months after implantation. The parameters of EF <30%, severe diastolic dysfunction and severe mitral regurgitation were independently related to increased cardiac mortality [ 52 ]. Another study tried to correlate right ventricular function with response prediction but failed to provide any results.…”
