Title: Optimising cardiac resynchronisation therapy performance in clinical practice

Cardiac resynchronisation therapy has the potential to transform the lives of Heart Failure patients NYHA class III-IV with dyssynchrony. In this podcast, the distinguished elecrophysiologist Maurizio Gasparini MD, Head of the Electrophysiology and Electrostimulation Division at the Istituto Clinico Humanitas, Milan, uses three patient cases to illustrate how CRT performance can be optimised in individual patients. Drug regiments, device programming features and techniques such as ablation are all invaluable tools to improve patient management and increase the rates of response to therapy.
