Echocardiographic CRT response was defined as a decrease in left ventricular (LV) end\u2010systolic volume of \u226515% and\/or absolute increase of 5% in LV ejection fraction at the 6\u2010month visit.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were 81 responders and 44 nonresponders. By univariate analyses, female sex, nonischemic cardiomyopathy etiology, baseline QRS duration, the presence of left bundle branch block (LBBB), and left ventricular end\u2010diastolic volume (LVEDV) index predicted CRT response. However, multivariate analysis demonstrated that only QRS duration, LBBB, and LVEDV index were independent predictors (QRS width, odds ratio [OR]: 1.027, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.004\u20131.050, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.023; LBBB, OR: 3.568, 95% CI: 1.284\u20139.910, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.015; LVEDV index, OR: 0.970, 95% CI: 0.953\u20130.987, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.001). Although female sex and nonischemic etiology were associated with an improved CRT response on univariate analyses, after adjusting for LV volumes they were not independent predictors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>QRS width, LBBB, and LVEDV index are independent predictors for echocardiographic CRT response.
