Abstract

Cardiac resynchronisation therapy may lead to remarkable improvement in clinical status in selected patients with heart failure. However, approximately 20% of patients may not respond to this treatment. A major challenge lies in reducing the number of non-responders. Echocardiography has been the focus of growing interest for improving patient selection as well as for device optimisation. This article reviews the current state of the art of assessment of dyssynchrony by echocardiography, and overviews practical aspects of the technique.
