Native Electrocardiographic QRS Duration after Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: the Impact on Clinical Outcomes and Prognosis

Highlights • Reversal of electrical remodeling (RER) after CRT is determined by narrowing of the intrinsic electrocardiographic QRS duration. • The present study addressed the impact of RER on echocardiographic and prognostic outcomes after CRT. • RER leads to higher rates of functional and volumetr...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Reversal of electrical remodeling (RER) after CRT is determined by narrowing of the intrinsic electrocardiographic QRS duration. • The present study addressed the impact of RER on echocardiographic and prognostic outcomes after CRT. • RER leads to higher rates of functional and volumetric CRT response. • Native QRS narrowing relates to improvement in both MR severity and mitral geometry. • Patients with RER derive more benefit from CRT in terms of death and hospitalization.
