The Postimplantation Electrocardiogram Predicts Clinical Response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

ConclusionsThe 12‐lead ECG postimplantation predicts clinical outcomes of BiV pacing. Such prediction may be useful in predicting the need for alternative or advanced heart failure therapies. Further study into ECG patterns may help to prospectively guide CRT.
