Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is currently the most widely used treatment for heart failure patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB). In recent years, the presence of septal rebound stretch (SRS) has been found to be a positive indicator for CRT response although the mechanism is unknown.
