[Advanced programming of cardiac resynchronisation therapy under echocardiographic examination: is it feasible and efficient?].

Abstract:

:In patients with heart failure treated with cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT), proper programming of the device can enhance the benefits of stimulation. Nowadays, adjustment of atrio-ventricular delay (AVD) is usually guided by echocardiography and performed only in resting conditions. The issue of optimal CRT programming during exercise, and the decision regarding the use of rate-adaptive pacing and rate-adaptive AVD algorithm during CRT, are largely empirical. We present a case report, and we indicate that programming of rate-adaptive pacing and rate-adaptive AVD algorithm on the basis of extended echocardiographic evaluation can further benefit the individual patient.

  • CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores as tools for long-term mortality prognosis in patients with typical atrial flutter after catheter ablation.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:The CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores were shown to predict mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, pathophysiology and treatment outcomes of atrial fibrillation and typical atrial flutter (AFL) differ. Consequently, the prognosis of patients with AFL can also be different. AIMS:The aim of the...
