A MULTI-MODAL COMPUTER MODEL OF THE HEART CAN PREDICT THERAPY OUTCOME IN CARDIAC RESYNCHRONIZATION THERAPY (CRT)

About 30% of HF patients suitable for CRT do not respond to therapy. Estimating CRT response preoperatively would allow improved patient selection. The ability of a patient-specific computer heart model to introduce new preoperative biomarkers of CRT response was studied. cMRI and 12-lead ECGs were
