Does the lack of left ventricular reverse remodeling always mean non - response to cardiac resynchronization therapy?

Abstract

Aim. To evaluate clinical, morphological, functional features and mortality level in patients with different value of left ventricular reverse remodeling after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Materials and methods. The study enrolled 112 patients (mean age 54.6±9.9 years, 83.5% men) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) І35%, NYHA functional class II-IV. We enrolled patients with QRS width >120 ms or QRS
