For patients who have LVEF less than or equal to 35%, a QRS duration of greater than or equal to 0.12 seconds, and atrial fibrillation, cardiac resynchronization therapy with or without an ICD is reasonable for the treatment of NYHA functional class III or ambulatory class IV heart failure symptoms on

  • ptimal recommended medical therapy.

Patients With Reduced LV Ejection Fraction

I IIa IIb III ACC Heart Failure Guidelines 2009 Heart Failure Society of America Guidelines 2012 CRT may be considered for some patients with atrial fibrillation More evidence is needed to guide the appropriate use of CRT in patients with AF

CRT for HF patients with Permanent AF

 Case-control studies suggest some benefit of CRT, but with less respond rate, less remodeling, and less mortality and morbidity outcomes benefit  Limited randomized trial data  RAFT provided the largest randomized trial data with

  • nly a signal of benefit; however, % pacing was low

 Planning a large randomized controlled trial

QRS Morphology and Duration

  • n the Effectiveness of CRT

 Patients with LBBB derived more benefit from CRT than Non-LBBB  In patients with LBBB, there is a linear relationship between the effectiveness CRT and QRS duration; however there is no distinctive cut-point to differentiate effective versus non-effectiveness  In patients with non-RBBB, QRS duration 160 ms is a good cut-point above which CRT is effective to reduce
