Abstract

Cardiac resynchronisation therapy can help to improve left ventricular function in patients with heart failure, but only if those regions of myocardium which are mostly compromised by electromechanical desynchronisation can be identified and effectively stimulated

  • cardiac resynchronisation therapy
  • heart failure
  • non-contact mapping
  • CHF, congestive heart failure
  • CRT, cardiac resynchronisation therapy
  • LBBB, left bundle branch block
