Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy In Patients With Heart Failure: Mechanistic Insights From Cardiac MRI And Electroanatomical Mapping
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) is a specialist pacemaker procedure that aims to improve the efficiency of the heartbeat. This treatment is used routinely in patients with heart failure and a delay in electrical conduction across the heart seen on the surface ECG (heart tracing). The investigators aim to assess acute response to CRT and compare different methods of delivering CRT using hemodynamic data from invasive dP/dTmax and electroanatomical data from either invasive mapping or non-invasive body surface mapping.
