Echocardiographic Screening Parameters for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.

Yvonne Vukušić-Janjić ; Poliklinika Panaceja, Županja, Hrvatska

Sažetak

The application of diverse possibilities of
treatment in ever greater number of patients with heart failure
represents a significant progress in improvement of prognosis,
quality of life and extension of life. Variables obtained
on the basis of echocardiography may much more contribute
to making indication for the implantation of biventricular
pacemaker than what has been the case so far. In many
diverse variables, it is necessary to define those applied in
screening patients for implantation and monitoring symptomatic
patients with implanted device, for the purpose of optimization
of resynchronization system. The purpose of this
article written following the debate by the participants of the
12th Croatian Symposium on Arrhythmias and Electrostimulation
is to stimulate further constructive debate.
