The European cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) survey is a joint initiative taken by the Heart Failure Association and Rhythm of Society Cardiology. primary aim this to describe current practice associated with CRT implantations. A total 140 centres from 13 countries contributed data consecutive patients successfully implanted device or without an ICD between November 2008 June 2009. number enrolled was 2438. median age 70 years (IQR 62–76) 31% were ≥75 years. It found that 78% in NYHA...

The Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Survey II is a 6 months snapshot survey initiated by two ESC Associations, the European Heart Rhythm Association and Failure Association, which designed to describe clinical practice regarding implantation of CRT devices in broad sample hospitals 47 member countries. large volume demographic data collected should reflect current patient selection, implantation, follow-up provide information relevant for assessing healthcare resource utilization...
AimsThe European cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) survey is a joint initiative taken by the Heart Failure Association and Rhythm of Society Cardiology with primary objective describing current practice associated CRT implantations. The results demonstrated that substantial number implantations took place in patients without conventional guideline indications. We investigated whether volume implants per centre was determinant propensity to use devices for 'off-label'
The decision to implant a cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (CRT-P) or defibrillator (CRT-D) may be challenging. There are no clear guideline recommendations as randomized study of (CRT) has been designed compare the effects CRT-P with those CRT-D on patients' outcomes. In CRT Survey II, we studied patient and implantation centre characteristics associated choice vs. CRT-D.Clinical practice data from 10 692 patients undergoing whom 7467 (70%) received 3225 (30%) across 42 ESC...
The clinical assessment of patients with respiratory and circulatory problems can be complex, time consuming have a high incidence error. Bedside transthoracic ultrasound (US) is useful adjunctive test in the evaluation acutely unstable patients. This case series describes use Focus Assessed Transthoracic Echocardiography (FATE) protocol to diagnose unsuspected pleural collections fluid how drainage significantly contributes haemodynamic improvement seen these
Although cardiovascular complications are common in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, those with milder cases who recovered at home less studied. Here, we report the case of a young woman recently from home. A week after recovery, she was admitted to our institution acute chest pain, signs ischemia on electrocardiogram and elevated cardiac troponins. Coronary angiography showed normal epicardial coronary arteries, but magnetic resonance transmural late gadolinium enhancement (LGE)...
Objectives Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a major burden in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Cardiac surgery the only curative treatment. Little known about patients with severe chronic RHD operated LMICs, challenges regarding postoperative follow-up are an important issue. At Tikur Anbessa Specialised Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, we aimed to evaluate course 12-month outcome of who received open-heart surgery, as compared natural controls waiting for undergoing medical...
Abstract Aims We aimed to externally validate the SEMMELWEIS-CRT score for predicting 1-year all-cause mortality in European Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Survey I dataset—a large multi-centre cohort of patients undergoing CRT implantation. Methods and results The is a machine learning-based tool trained This demonstrated impressive performance during internal validation but has not yet been validated externally. To this end, we applied it data 1367 from dataset. predicted with an...
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces morbidity and mortality in selected patients with heart failure (HF) electrical dyssynchrony. This treatment receives class IA recommendations European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines. However, despite these strong recommendations, CRT implantation practice varies greatly Europe. The purpose the sub-analysis Survey II data was to describe how countries' health per capita expenditure affects practice.
