Is right ventricular dysfunction a predictor of non-response and clinical outcome following cardiac resynchronization therapy?
Right ventricular function is an important predictor of both response to CRT and long-term clinical outcome. Routine assessment of the right ventricle should be considered in the evaluation of patients for CRT.
In the 7-year experience of a single center, the Glissonian approach is not less safe and may seems to offer advantages when compared with the standard laparoscopic approach.
