<h4>Background</h4>The role of atrial rate-responsive (RR) pacing in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is unclear due to the favorable effect of rate lowering in systolic heart failure. Atrial high rate episodes (AHREs) in CRT recipients are particularly worrisome since they cause loss of CRT, beyond representing a stroke risk factor.<h4>Hypothesis</h4>The presence of an association between RR and the incidence of AHREs.<h4>Methods</h4>Daily remote transmissions from 836 CRT recipients wer ...[more]
