Imaging Toolbox on CRT

Learn from the experts in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), cardiac mechanic and mechanical dyssynchrony.

The EACVI Multimodality Imaging Toolbox on CRT contains a selection of presentations, webcasts, clinical cases, lectures, references and recommendations to help you in your day to day practice.

 

The programme is composed of 7 parts, as follows:

 Part 1: Webcasts and presentations

A selection of webcasts and presentations from ESC and EACVI congresses

Access   

 

 Part 2: Teaching course on CRT

 

  • Imaging in CRT (Erwan Donal)
  • Imaging guided CRT after the ECHO-CRT study (Johan De Sutter)
  • Imaging left ventricular dyssynchrony (Otto A. Smiseth)
  • Echocardiographic parameters to select patients for CRT (Ivan Stankovic)
  • Resynchronization Therapy: How to Assess Ventricular Mechanics? (Jens-Uwe Voigt)

Access   

   

 Part 3: Clinical Cases

A selection of interesting clinical cases, submitted by international experts

  • 3 cases pre and post CRT according to current guidelines (Erwan DONAL, Auriane BIDAUD, Elena GALLI)
  • Optimization of cardiac resynchronisation therapy: LV Lead position, qLV, or paced effects? (EP Case Report, Niraj Varma, Raja Ghanem, and Ping Jia)
  • Hybrid cardiac resynchronization with leadless pacemaker and transvenous coronary sinus lead (EP Case Report, Sit-Yee Kwok and Hung-Fat Tse2)
