Diagnosis
Diagnosis begins with a multidisciplinary (MDT) review of the underlying cause — ischaemic, valvular, electrical dyssynchrony (LBBB or widened QRS), congenital, or cardiomyopathy. ECG, echocardiography, cardiac MRI and coronary angiography are used to determine the cause before a treatment path is chosen.
Treatment Options
Treatment spans the full advanced heart-failure pathway: cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-P/CRT-D) and ICD (single, dual or subcutaneous), cardiac contractility modulation (CCM), coronary stenting or bypass, valve repair and replacement (TAVR/TEER), and for refractory cases, LVAD and heart transplant.
