AB  - Current guidelines recommend cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) for patients 
      with severe left ventricular dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction 
      [LVEF] </=35 %), QRS duration of >/=120-150 ms (Class IA and IB indications) on 
      surface electrocardiogram (ECG) and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III 
      or IV heart failure (HF) symptoms. Ongoing studies aim to expand the use of CRT 
      in patients with asymptomatic or minimal symptoms left ventricular dysfunction. 
      There have been studies that have shown benefit of CRT extended to this group of 
      patients. There have also been different implications of the role of CRT in 
      patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), patients with narrow QRS duration or with 
      right bundle branch block (RBBB) on surface ECG, as well as patients with 
      end-stage renal failure on dialysis therapy. This article aims to review the 
      current body of evidence of expanding use of CRT in these populations.
