Methods
We studied 13 patients with CHF NYHA Class II, sinus rhythm, duration of QRS≥≥130 ms and a dissinhrony according to echocardiography (EchoCG). Implantation of CRT and drug treatment of CHF were carried out according to ESC Guidelines (2013). TPL was measured in the conditions of spiroBET which has been done using Schiller AG AT-104 ErgoSpiro equipment. We used Bruce protocol. Efficiency of CRT was estimated according to EhoCG: increase of ejection fraction (EF) ≥≥5% was regarded as “responder”(R); <5% – “non-responder” (NR).
