Review highlights unclear mortality benefits of CRT-D over CRT-P in heart failure, suggesting careful device selection.

CRT-D and CRT-P both improve symptoms in heart failure, yet the mortality benefit of CRT-D remains uncertain.
Despite 70–80% of CRT implantations being CRT-D, solid evidence for its superiority over CRT-P is lacking.
Patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy or advanced age may see limited benefits from CRT-D compared to CRT-P.
This review discusses patient selection criteria, clinical outcomes, and risk-benefit considerations for CRT devices.
