title: Beyond the measurement of QRS complex toward mechanical dyssynchrony: cardiac resynchronisation therapy in heart failure patients with a normal QRS duration.
abstract: Mechanical systolic dyssynchrony exists in many patients with heart failure, irrespective of QRS duration, and so more patients may derive benefit from cardiac resynchronisation therapy than previously considered.
