Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) and Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVAD) Therapy

Completed

Conditions studied: Heart Failure

In brief

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) or biventricular pacing is a useful treatment for heart failure and those suffering from arrhythmias. The purpose of this research study is to determine the effect left-ventricular pacing has on patients who have a ventricular assist device.
