Right ventricular function and survival following cardiac resynchronisation therapy
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Right ventricular (RV) function is an important prognostic marker in heart failure. However, its impact on all-cause mortality following cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) independent of confounding factors has not been evaluated. Furthermore, evidence concerning the effect of CRT on RV function is limited. The study's aims were to: (1) assess the prognostic importance of RV function among CRT recipients, and (2) characterise …
