Zusammenfassung:Cardiac resynchronization-defibrillation therapy (CRT-D) is now a well-established treatment for patients with symptomatic heart failure unresponsive to optimized pharmacological therapy, including an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker and a beta-adrenergic blocker (1). [...]as with any observational study, there is a possibility of unmeasured, confounding variables, including noncardiac comorbidities.
