TI  - Indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy: 2011 update from the Heart

AB  - Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves survival, symptoms, quality of 
      life, exercise capacity, and cardiac structure and function in patients with New 
      York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II or ambulatory class IV heart 
      failure (HF) with wide QRS complex. The totality of evidence supports the use of 
      CRT in patients with less severe HF symptoms. CRT is recommended for patients in 
      sinus rhythm with a widened QRS interval (>/=150 ms) not due to right bundle branch 
      block (RBBB) who have severe left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and 
      persistent NYHA functional class II-III symptoms despite optimal medical therapy 
      (strength of evidence A). CRT may be considered for several other patient groups 
      for whom evidence of benefit is clinically significant but less substantial, 
      including patients with a QRS interval of >/=120 to <150 ms and severe LV systolic 
      dysfunction who have persistent mild to severe HF despite optimal medical therapy 
      (strength of evidence B), some patients with atrial fibrillation, and some with 
      ambulatory class IV HF. Several evidence gaps remain that need to be addressed, 
      including the ideal threshold for QRS duration, QRS morphology, lead placement, 
      degree of myocardial scarring, and the modality for evaluating dyssynchrony. 
      Recommendations will evolve over time as additional data emerge from completed 
      and ongoing clinical trials.
