Ventricular Electrical Delay Measured From Body Surface ECGs Is Associated With Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Response in Left Bundle Branch Block Patients From the MADIT-CRT Trial (Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation-Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) [Original Articles]
Conclusions:
Left bundle branch block patients with a high baseline VED value benefited most from CRT, whereas left bundle branch block patients with low VED did not show CRT benefits.
