Abstract
Patients suffering from heart failure with left bundle branch block (LBBB) can be effectively treated by resynchronization therapy (CRT). The ejection fraction, QRS duration (QRSd) and QRS morphology are the main selection criteria. Unfortunately, approximately one-third of CRT recipients are non-responders. Here we introduce an additional marker capable of distinguishing ventricular dyssynchrony more accurately.
