Main Article Content
Abstract
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been used in heart failure patients since 1994 and still is one of the most advanced forms of cardiac pacing. ECG interpretation should be performed as in patients with typical pacemakers. But complete medical assessment requires the knowledge of the effect of CRT on the heart function. What’s more, in order to maximize the benefit of CRT, proper patient management and device followup are crucial. It means very close cooperation between patient and doctor as well as between electrophysiologist and doctor from out-patient clinic.
