AB  - Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is an important therapy for patients with 
      heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction and interventricular conduction 
      delay. Large trials have established the role of CRT in reducing heart failure 
      hospitalisations and improving symptoms, left ventricular (LV) function and 
      mortality. Guidelines from major medical societies are consistent in support of 
      CRT for patients with New York Health Association (NYHA) class II, III and 
      ambulatory class IV heart failure, reduced LV ejection fraction and QRS 
      prolongation, particularly left bundle branch block. The current challenge facing 
      practitioners is to maximise the rate of patients who respond to CRT and the 
      magnitude of that response. Current areas of interest for achieving these goals 
      include tailoring patient selection, individualising LV lead placement and 
      application of new technologies and techniques for CRT delivery.
