Zusammenfassung:	Aim of this study is to investigate the impact of elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) on mortality and the clinical outcome after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Ninety-three patients with heart failure were enrolled into this study, and all of them have been treated by CRT for more than 6 months. Based on the level of preoperative PASP, they were divided into three groups (Group I: PASP>50mmHg, n=29; Group II: 30mmHg
