T-wave area as biomarker of clinical response to cardiac resynchronization therapy

Conclusion
T-wave area may be useful as an additional biomarker to stratify CRT candidates and improve selection of those most likely to benefit from CRT. A large T-wave area may derive its predictive value from reflecting good intrinsic myocardial properties and a substrate for CRT.
