Successful reduction of intraventricular asynchrony is associated with superior response to cardiac resynchronization therapy

BACKGROUND: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is generally associated with a low to moderate increase of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In some patients, however, LVEF improves remarkably and reaches near-normal values. The aim of the present study was to further characterize t...
