Cardiac resynchronization therapy in the real world: comparison with the COMPANION study
AJ Bank, KV Burns, RM Gage, DB Vatterott… - Journal of cardiac …, 2012 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Several clinical trials have confirmed that cardiac resynchronization
therapy (CRT) improves outcomes in well defined patient populations. It is uncertain,
however, whether outcomes are similar in real-world clinical settings. This study compared
outcomes after CRT with defibrillator (CRT-D) in a large real-world private-practice
cardiology setting with those in the COMPANION multicenter trial. METHODS AND
RESULTS: A total of 429 consecutive patients who received CRT-D for standard indications …
