| Abstract | ||
| Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an indispensable mode of treatment for the increasing number of patients with severe systolic heart failure .(1) A new CRT-score was recently generated in Alexandria University to predict responders to CRT.(2) The CRT score includes QRS duration ≥150 ms, LBBB morphology ,non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), sinus rhythm ,preserved RV function with TAPSE ≥15 mm, female gender, the absence of history of renal disease and significant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Each parameter was assigned to a single point except QRS duration ≥150 ms was assigned to 2 points of maximum 9 points. | ||
