  • Title: Time intervals of cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure.
    Author: Baker C, Love CJ, Moeschberger ML, Orsinelli DA, Yamokoski L, Leier CV.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 2004 Nov 01; 94(9):1192-6. PubMed ID: 15518621.
    Abstract:
    Systolic and diastolic time intervals were measured in 11 patients with heart failure before and 1 and 3 months after the placement of atrial biventricular pacemakers for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). CRT shortened the preejection period, principally by reducing left ventricular (LV) electromechanical delay with lesser reduction of isovolumic contraction time, and shortened the duration of LV systole, with a consequent trend of lengthening diastolic time.
