Abstract
Background:Approximately one-third of patients with advanced heart failure (HF) do not respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). We investigated whether the left ventricular (LV) conduction pattern on magnetocardiography (MCG) can predict CRT responders. Methods and Results:This retrospective study enrolled 56 patients with advanced HF (mean [±SD] LV ejection fraction [LVEF] 23±8%; QRS duration 145±19 ms) and MCG recorded before CRT. MCG-QRS current arrow maps were classified as multidirectional (MDC; n=28) or unidirectional (UDC; n=28) conduction based on a change of either ≥35° or Conclusions:Preoperative non-invasive MCG may predict the CRT response and long-term outcome after CRT.Keywords
