Mechanical dyssynchrony, ie nonsynchronous contraction of the wall segments of the left ventricle (intraventricular) or between the left and right ventricles (interventricular), impairs systolic function and ventricular filling, increases wall stress and worsens mitral regurgitation. It is most readily defined by the presence of QRS widening and left bundle branch block (LBBB) configuration on…

In this video, Dr Michael R Gold (Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC, US) shares the primary results of the Smart-CRT Trial. The study investigated the efficacy of an atrioventricular optimization algorithm to improve reverse remodeling among patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in the presence of interventricular electrical delay.

CRT is an essential treatment for patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction as it can restore left ventricular (LV) electrical and mechanical synchrony. It has been shown to increase quality of life, improve functional status, reduce hospitalisation, improve LV systolic function and reduce mortality in properly selected patients.1,2 While CRT is an effective therapy, approximately…

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) originating from the Purkinje system is the most common type of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia (ILVT), especially among young Asians.1,2 It usually has a benign course. Research over the past two decades has deepened our understanding of the anatomy of the Purkinje system and the mechanisms of ILVT. This review focuses on the research history and anatomy of…
