摘要:
Echocardiography has several roles in patients with cardiac resynchronisation therapy ( CRT). First, it can optimise selection of CRT candidates by demonstration of left ventricular ( LV) dyssynchrony. Second, it can be used to assess immediate response to CRT, including detection of acute LV resynchronisation. Echocardiography is also useful to evaluate long- term benefit from CRT. Finally, echocardiography is important in optimisation of pacemaker settings, including AV and VV optimisation.
