Does CRT-P improve symptoms and functional independence in a 100-year-old patient with severe heart failure, AF, and LBBB?
CRT-P implantation can provide significant symptomatic improvement and functional independence even in centenarian patients with severe heart failure.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been shown to improve outcomes in patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) and electrical dyssynchrony. This case report presents a 100‐year‐old male with a history of atrial fibrillation (AF), left bundle branch block (LBBB), and ischemic heart disease, who was admitted with chest pain and episodes of bradycardia. After careful consideration, CRT‐P was successfully implanted. The patient′s condition was closely monitored postimplantation, and a 4‐year follow‐up revealed significant symptomatic improvement and functional independence. This report highlights the importance of CRT‐P in improving quality of life and managing heart failure in very elderly patients.
Helal et al. (Thu,) conducted a case report in Severe heart failure (n=1). Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-P) was evaluated on Symptomatic improvement and functional independence. CRT-P implantation in a 100-year-old male with severe heart failure resulted in significant symptomatic improvement and functional independence over a 4-year follow-up.
