- Presence of left ventricular contractile reserve, evaluated by means of dobutamine stress-echo test, is able to predict response to cardiac resynchronization therapy. Abstract INTRODUCTION: We evaluated whether the dobutamine stress-echo test can select responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Up (...)
- Heart rate variability monitored by the implanted device predicts response to CRT and long-term clinical outcome in patients with advanced heart failure Abstract BACKGROUND: Few data exist on the long-term changes and the prognostic value of heart rate variability (HRV) assessed by implanted (...)
- Optimal site for atrial lead implantation in myotonic dystrophy patients: the role of Bachmann’s Bundle stimulation Abstract AIM: The aim of this study was to identify the optimal site for atrial lead implantation in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD1) patients. (...)
