摘要
In the present study, the effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in elderly patients were evaluated. The study included 170 consecutive patients whose clinical and echocardiographic improvements were evaluated after 6 months of follow-up. Survival was evaluated up to 2 years. The effects of CRT in elderly patients (age >= 70 years) were compared with those in younger patients (age < 70 years). (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
