Popis:	BACKGROUND The impact of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on dispersion of repolarization is controversial. The benefit of CRT on sudden cardiac death has been demonstrated only after 3 years follow-up. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to explore the immediate effect of CRT on dispersion of repolarization and to define the value of dispersion of repolarization parameters as predictors of appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy. METHODS Data from 100 patients who underwent CRT-ICD placement were analyzed retrospectively. Patients had symptoms of New York Heart Association functional class III or IV heart failure, left ventricular ejection fraction 130 ms or QRS
