Evaluating the efficacy, safety, and predictors of failure following cardiac resynchronization therapy in a developing country: an ambispective, multi-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiple studies have demonstrated that cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) effectively improves the prognosis of heart failure. CRT has been proven to improve patients' quality of life and reduce the risk of readmission and death in selected patients. Nevertheless, a notable proportion of individuals undergoing CRT showed no response. Therefore, we conducted this study to describe CRT characteristics and reported the outcomes 1 year after discharge in Vietnam, along with predictors of non-response to CRT.

Methods

This was a multicenter, ambispective cohort study that enrolled all CRT implantation patients at five hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City: University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City, Heart Institute of Ho Chi Minh City, Tam Duc Heart Hospital, Thong Nhat H
