Discussion

Retrospective analysis improved risk stratification for CRT candidates, indicating CMR's potential benefits.

Integrating cardiac MRI into eligibility criteria improves candidate selection for cardiac resynchronization therapy.
After 4.8 years, late gadolinium enhancement and left ventricular strains are key survival predictors.
The analysis included 711 patients, focusing on those with reduced ejection fraction and prolonged QRS.
Findings highlight the importance of advanced imaging techniques for optimizing CRT efficacy.

Zhou et al. (2025) studied this question.
