Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is a well-established non-pharmacological treatment option for patients with refractory symptomatic heart failure (HF) already under optimal medical therapy.1 CRT is founded on the principle that interventricular conduction disturbances and especially left bundle branch block (LBBB) are deleterious to cardiac performance and may contribute to the systolic… View more

Implantable cardiac devices, such as pacemakers, are used to treat a number of heart conditions, especially those related to the electrical conduction system. Cardiac pacemakers are a well-established and effective therapy, and have been in use for more than 50 years. The first pacemaker was implanted in a patient in October 1958 by Åke Senning in Stockholm, in cooperation with engineer Rune… View more
