Conflicting data exists on the benefit of cardiac resynchronization treatment (CRT) in patients with narrow QRS (Narrow-QRS) cardiomyopathy (CMP). We determined the effect of CRT in patients with CMP and mechanical asynchrony based on a comprehensive assessment by multiple echocardiographic criteria.
