Differences in outcome of cardiac resynchronization therapy between iscehemic cardiomyopathy and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy / 中国医师杂志

The aim of this review is to detect the difference in outcome of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) between ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM).By reviewing some clinical trials of large scale,we found that restore of heart structure and function in NICM was more significant than ICM.However,there were no significant differences in clinical outcome of improving cardiac function and quality of life,decreasing heart failure re-hospitalization and mortality.
