Trials have shown that cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is effective in patients with 'non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy'. Patients with post-surgical valvular cardiomyopathy (PSVCM) have been excluded from such trials. We sought to compare the clinical outcome of CRT in patients with PSVCM, idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM), or ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM).
