Any tips on how to best optimize the CRT settings?

If you perform a follow-up echo on a patient with a CRT system, check and, if needed, optimize the AV delay. Prof. Binder here explains why it is important and how it is done.

Some patients are non-responders to CRT despite being candidates according to the guidelines. Learn from a case about the topic "CAD and CRT".

If you detect residual dyssynchrony, you can try and optimize the CRT settings, for instance in respect to the VV delays. Learn from this video how it is done.

Mitral regurgitation occurs during systole. However, a certain amount of backflow may also occur shortly before the onset of contraction (presystolic). Predisposing factors are high left-ventricular pressures and the presence of a first degree AV block.
