Usefulness of Biomarkers for Predicting Response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.

Usefulness of Biomarkers for Predicting Response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy. Curr Cardiol Rev. 2019 Dec 06;: Authors: Asgardoon MH, Vasheghani-Farahani A, Sherafati A Abstract Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an effective treatment strategy for heart failure. However, some patients do not response properly to this treatment. In this review, the role of different biomarkers in predicting response to CRT is discussed. Some biomarkers including natriuretic peptides and inflammatory markers have promising results but further trials are needed for more evaluation. PMID: 31822259 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
