Abstract
To implant or not to implant? : That is the unsolved question concerning heart failure patients with non-LBBB.
Highlights
In the present guidelines, echocardiographic parameters for left ventricular activation delay are irrelevant for the cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) indication
Non-left bundle branch block (LBBB) is associated with a conglomeration of diverse causes which might show delay in left ventricular wall activation
This dilemma is obvious: On the one hand there are many heart failure patients with non-LBBB who are at the end of the road for medical therapy and urgently need further treatment options
Summary
Echocardiographic parameters for left ventricular activation delay are irrelevant for the CRT indication. Lüdenscheid, Germany e-mail: Markus.Zarse@klinikum-luedenscheid.de duration and left bundle branch block (LBBB) morphology. Non-LBBB is associated with a conglomeration of diverse causes which might show delay in left ventricular wall activation.
