The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility of using our novel echocardiographic index of inefficient left ventricular (LV) contraction in patient selection for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).Forty consecutive patients with LV ejection fraction ≤35% were divided into 2 groups, 9 CRT candidates and 31 non-CRT candidates based on conventional criteria. A global LV time–area curve...
Objective: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and angiotensin II type I receptor blockers (ARB) prevent cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). However, it is controversial whether combination therapy of ACE inhibitor and ARB is more effective on cardiac remodeling than each agent alone. In this study, we compared the effects of an ACE inhibitor (temocapril), an ARB (CS-866),...
