Evaluating the quality of life in patients with refractory chronic heart failure undergoing cardiac resynchronization regarding the type of therapeutic response. In 6th Annual Congress of the European Cardiac Arrhythmia Society, Munich (Germany), April 16-18, 2010. Poster.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/1036The benefits of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in the quality of life have been largely demonstrated in selected patients with severe congestive heart failure (CHF). However, the differences between responders and non-responders, with regard to the effect of CRT in the various dimensions of quality of life is still a matter of discussion. Objective: to evaluate the impact of CRT on the quality of life of patients with CHF refractory to optimal pharmacological therapy, within 6 months after CRT.engFisioterapiaReabilitaçãoInsuficiência cardíacaQualidade de vidaRessincronização cardíacaconference object
