Details and patient eligibility

About

The study is observational, prospective, including patients undergoing CRT-D / CRT-P implantation in the department of cardiology. In the current project, the researchers assumed that the improvement in cardiac function obtained in patients qualified according to the ESC / PTK guidelines for resynchronization therapy may improve renal function in a prospective 12-month follow-up. In addition, it is planned to take into account the possibility of temporary deterioration of kidney function, which may occur immediately after implantation of the resynchronization device due to the nephrotoxic effect of the contrast agent.
