NEW! 2012 EHRA/HRS Expert Consensus Statement on Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Heart Failure: Implant and Follow-up Recommendations and Management
The expert consensus statement provides recommendations for the practical management of CRT patients before, during and after the implantation procedure. The statement does not discuss clinical indications for CRT therapy as these are covered by other guidelines statements.
