TI  - [Which patients with heart failure should be offered cardiac resynchronization?].
PG  - 451-5
AB  - Chronic heart failure is a very prevalent disease in developed countries. In 
      recent decades, very important advances in drug therapy have occurred. However, 
      mortality is still very high. One third of patients with a low ejection fraction 
      and New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class IIII-IV have a wide QRS. 
      This means that there is often resynchronization of contraction and higher 
      mortality. In order to improve the prognosis, the therapy based on cardiac 
      resynchronization device has bee4n shown to be a complementary medical treatment 
      and has contributed to clinical, hemodynamic and mortality improvements. In this 
      article, we aim to show the results of clinical trials and recommendations of the 
      main guidelines regarding this therapy.
