Resynchronization-defibrillation for heart failure shows long-term benefits

Cardiology Update

The Resynchronization–Defibrillation for Ambulatory Heart Failure Trial (RAFT; NCT00251251 ) demonstrated a greater 5-year mortality benefit for patients receiving cardiac-resynchronization therapy (CRT) compared to those receiving implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (ICDs). The median follow-up duration for these patients was 7.7
