Background Nearly one-third of patients with advanced heart failure (HF) do not benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). We developed a novel approach for optimizing CRT via a simultaneous assessment of the myocardial viability and an appropriate lead position using a fusion technique with CT coronary venography and myocardial perfusion imaging.
