Atrial reverse remodelling is associated with outcome of cardiac resynchronization therapy
Conclusion
Patients without atrial and ventricular reverse remodelling have the worst outcome. Patients with only atrial reverse remodelling have improved left ventricular diastolic filling during follow-up and demonstrate a comparable outcome with patients with both atrial and ventricular reverse remodelling. Assessment of atrial reverse remodelling may provide additional prognostic information in determining CRT outcome.
