40-50% In patients with CHF and LBBB that are
severely
symptomatic, properly performed CRT-P
(without
defib) reduces sudden death and mortality
by:
Stimulate LV in area of lowest Three reasons to use multipolar CS/LV
threshold, stimulate LV in area of leads in
greatest asynchrony, prevent resynchronized therapy are:
phrenic
nerve stimulation by changing the
LV
pacing vector
Unipolar over the wire Implanting the LV lead in small diameter
coronary
veins, which type of resynchronization lv
lead
design generally has the smallest
diameter?
,LBBB A minority of patients treated with bi-v
pacing do
not improve clinically. Most of the following
are
characteristics of non responder patients.
What
characteristic will also suggest the patient
is more
likely to be a good responder to CRT?
A. Ischemic heart disease
B. LBBB (vs rbbb)
C. Transmural MI Scar
D. Enter your corner vein lead placement
Diaphragmatic stimulation The most common problem associated
with pacing
from the LV from the coronary vein is:
CS lead The only significant difference between
implanting
an ICD and a CRT-D device is a
Implantable defibrillator Most patients that receive a BIV
pacemaker also

properly placed and tested the next thing
to do is:
Reduced end diastolic size and LV The main long-term benefit of CRT on the
