Abstract
Indications for cardiac-resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with heart failure include a prolonged QRS interval (≥120 msec), in addition to other functional criteria. Some patients with narrow QRS complexes have echocardiographic evidence of left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony and may also benefit from CRT.Keywords
