Abstrakt: This document discusses the use of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in heart failure patients and the potential for optimizing device settings to maximize its benefits. The study focuses on the relationship between measurements of left ventricular (LV) performance using dP/dt and continuously obtained measurements of pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) using the CardioMEMS™ sensor. The findings show a weak inverse correlation between PAPdP/dt and LVdP/dt, indicating the complexity of this relationship. The study suggests that PAP measurements can provide continuous data on LV performance, but further research is needed to fully evaluate this concept. The study acknowledges its limitations and the need for larger studies to validate the findings. [Extracted from the article]
