Cardiac-Resynchronization Therapy for the Prevention of Heart-Failure Events
MADIT-CRT Trial Investigators
FROM ABSTRACT :
“Background This trial was designed to determine whether cardiac-resynchronization therapy (CRT) with biventricular pacing would reduce the risk of death or heart-failure events in patients with mild cardiac symptoms, a reduced ejection fraction, and a wide QRS complex. ”
“
“Conclusions CRT combined with ICD decreased the risk of heart-failure events in relatively asymptomatic patients with a low ejection fraction and wide QRS complex.”:
