2004 JUL 5 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Resynchronization therapy studies should evaluate its affect on patient mortality in different groups of patients, researchers say.

According to published research from Italy, "Various modalities of cardiac pacing have been proposed in the past to improve hemodynamics, either directly or indirectly."

"Some of these are conventional ways of cardiac stimulation, others such as biventricular or left ventricular pacing, represent dedicated pacing techniques. Left ventricular and biventricular pacing are successfully applied in those patients with congestive heart failure who have conduction disturbances (i.e., left bundle branch block) as they correct the ensuing intra- and interventricular dyssynchrony," wrote G. Boriani and colleagues, University of Bologna.

"This is the reason why these pacing modalities are described as cardiac resynchronization therapy. According to the results of a series of studies, the cardiac resynchronization therapy seems to have a favorable clinical impact in terms of quality of life, morbidity and hospitalization rate," the researchers wrote.

"Ongoing and future studies should assess the impact of resynchronization therapy on overall mortality and its ...
