CRT FOR NYHA CLASS II-IV PATIENTS
• The number of non-responders is high (about 30-50%
depending on response definition and HF etiology).
• CRT is not without complications (11% periprocedural, 4%
device-related according to the 2009 European CRT Survey).
• Economic resources are limited and a wise use of them is
expected.
Therefore, today identification of CRT non-responders is a needed
health care strategy.

Chung ES et al; Circulation 2008.
“Given the modest sensitivity and
specificity in this multicenter setting
despite training and central analysis, no
single echocardiographic measure of
dyssynchrony may be recommended
to improve patient selection for CRT
beyond current guidelines.”

ADVANTAGES OF THE SPECKLE TRACKING TECHNIQUE:
• Pathophysiologic sound (it assesses myocardial
deformation, not motion or displacement)
• Correlates with MRI
• More accessible than MRI
ADVANTAGES OF THE RADIAL DYSSYNCHRONY INDEX:
•
•
•
•
Easy to apply
Rapid
Highly reproducible

Effect of Posterolateral Scar Tissue on Clinical and
Echocardiographic Improvement After CRT
Bleeker et al - Circulation 2006;113:969-976
40 ischemic HF pts, NYHA class III-IV, LV-EF35%, QRS>120 msec, LBBB
Transmural scar: hyperenhancement 51-100% of LV wall thickness
Combined assessment of scar tissue and LV dyssynchrony
is needed for best prediction of CRT response.
Percentages of responders to CRT for 4 different patient
categories based on the presence or absence of transmural
posterolateral scar tissue (Scar+/Scar-) in combination with
the presence or absence of baseline LV dyssynchrony ≥65
ms (Dys+/Dys-).

Effects of global longitudinal strain and total scar burden on response to CRT in
patients with ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy
D’Andrea A et al. Eur J Heart F 2009; 11: 58-67
Average Global longitudinal strain (GLS) correlates
closely with MRI total scar burden (r=0.64,
P<0.001).
GLS and radial intraventricular dyssynchrony
were powerful independent determinants of
response to CRT.

CONCLUSIONS
Azienda Ospedaliera
Universitaria - Ferrara
Napoli 2011
•
The response of the “average” patient to a therapy is not
necessarily the response of the individual patient standing
before the clinician (C Bernard, 1865).
•
Identification of patients with highest probability of CRT
response could allow allocate resources to those patients who
can really benefit from the treatment.
•
Cause of nonresponse to CRT is probably multifactorial: beyond
dyssynchrony, factors related to the myocardial substrate play
an important role (global scar burden, scar at pacing site and
contractile reserve).

APPROCCIO A STEP PER LO STUDIO DEI CANDIDATI ALLA CRT
STEP I - VALUTARE LE INDICAZIONI ALL’ IMPIANTO (Classe IA)
•
•
•
•
•
Classe NYHA II-IV
Terapia medica ottimizzata
FE ventricolare sinistra ≤35%
QRS>120 ms (classe NYHA III-IV) o >150 msec (classe NYHA II)
Ritmo sinusale
STEP II - VALUTARE LA PROBABILITA’ DI RISPOSTA A LUNGO TERMINE
ALTA PROBABILITA’ DI RISPOSTA POSITIVA IN CLASSE NYHA III-IV
•
•
•
•
•
•
Eziologia non ischemica
QRS>150 ms
Blocco di branca sinistra
Scarso scar burden totale (soprattutto nelle forme ischemiche)
Conservata riserva contrattile globale (soprattutto nelle forme non ischemiche)
Normale funzione renale
Utile aggiungere la quantificazione della dissincronia meccanica se:
• QRS “intermedio” (120-150 msec)
• Blocco di branca destra
• Blocco di branca sinistra senza evidenza di “bounce” settale
• Indicazioni “off-label” (QRS “stretto” <120 msec, FE>35%)
STEP III - IDENTIFICARE IL SITO DI PACING OTTIMALE
• Zona più ritardata e vitale (senza cicatrice transmurale)
