Abstract
The article discusses the cardiac resynchronization therapy response, benefits, and limitations. It mentions the left bundle branch block (LBBB) as a criterion for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) candidacy. It reports that the patients responses suggest that a stricter LBBB definition may exclude patients who could benefit from CRT.
