MINNEAPOLIS & MUNICH, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New analyses presented today during the annual congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) on the effects of cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) in patients with mild heart failure from the REVERSE (Resynchronisation Reverses Remodeling in Systolic Left Ventricular Dysfunction) trial show improvement in several areas, including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), a standard measure of the heart’s pumping effectiveness and a key indicator of heart health. Patients with CRT experienced improvement in LVEF from 28 percent at baseline to 35 percent at 18 months; a healthy heart’s pumping effectiveness ranges from 50 to 75 percent.
