Importance of atrial kick in cardiac resynchronization
- Non-responder rate in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) could be partly decreased by individualized parameter optimization excluding adverse hemodynamic timing. In heart failure patients with sinus rhythm, an atrial kick enables the completion of atrial contraction and may significantly enhance the ventricular filling. Compared to that, exclusion of atrial kick is a sign of suboptimalNon-responder rate in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) could be partly decreased by individualized parameter optimization excluding adverse hemodynamic timing. In heart failure patients with sinus rhythm, an atrial kick enables the completion of atrial contraction and may significantly enhance the ventricular filling. Compared to that, exclusion of atrial kick is a sign of suboptimal atrioventricular timing. However, the recognition of atrial kick by echocardiography will be negatively affected in patients requiring a very short or long AV delays.…
