| Research Abstract |
This multicenter prospective cohort study was performed to identify the usefulness of speckle tracking echocardiography that has been developed as a novel echocardiographic method in assessing responses to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Among total 187 subjects who were enrolled in this study, 99 subjects were identified as a CRT responder. This study revealed that a circumferential strain parameter by speckle tracking echocardiography was the best predictor for CRT responders. Finally, this study is the first study that contributed to identify the important role of echocardiography to predict CRT responders.
