简要总结

The CARE-HF trial evaluates the effects of Cardiac Resynchronization (CR) therapy on the mortality and morbidity of patients with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction already receiving diuretics and optimal medical therapy.

详细描述

813 patients enrolled 82 centers in 12 countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and UK)
