Abstract

Cardiac resynchronization therapies (CRTs) have been demonstrated to improve the clinical management and prognosis of selected patients with heart failure. CRT devices include both CRT pacemakers (CRT-P) and CRT defibrillators (CRT-D), with the latter being used to treat life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. A significant advantage of CRTs is the ability to monitor several vital parameters which, thanks to advanced technology, may be remotely assessed. Personalized programming options allow patients to receive the maximum benefit from these treatments. In this review we report the main diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms used in clinical practice.
