• Cardiac resynchronization and death from progressive heart failure: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. (2003, background): “Prolongation of the QRS interval has been associated with diminished cardiac function(12,13) and increased mortality.(10) In recent years, cardiac pacemakers have been modified in an effort to correct ventricular dyssynchrony, a treatment referred to as cardiac resynchronization.”

Developed in collaboration with the European Heart Rhythm Association. (2007, background): “Patients suffering from CHF, AF, and ventricular dyssynchrony are typically older, have a higher prevalence of associated illnesses, and a worse prognosis than patients in sinus rhythm.(310) On the other hand, enabling incessant and complete ventricular capture may be inconvenient for the patient, s”
