Impact of left bundle branch block (LBBB) in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) with intermediate left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD)
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the commonest cause of heart failure and cardiac transplantation worldwide [1]. Morbidity and mortality in DCM has improved considerably with optimal medical therapy (OMT), identification of affected individuals at earlier stages of the disease process, and by the use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
