This study aimed to evaluate echocardiographic and clinical outcomes of heart failure patients with RVp upgraded to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), as they are frequently excluded from multicentre studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This observational study assessed 655 consecutive patients with QRS \u2265120 ms and left ventricular ejection fraction \u226435%. There were 465 patients without significant previous RVp and 190 with RVp &amp;gt;40%. Echocardiograms were analysed pre-CRT and \u223c 1 year post-CRT. Death and heart failure hospitalizations were analysed using Cox regression, adjusted for baseline characteristics. The RVp patients had smaller end-systolic volume (P = 0.002), were older (P &amp;lt; 0.001), and had more atrial fibrillation (P &amp;lt; 0.001) pre-CRT. Ejection fraction and proportion of ischaemic aetiology were similar. One year following CRT implantation the ejection fraction response was greater in the RVp group (8.3 \u00b1 9 vs. 5.8 \u00b1 9 units, P = 0.005). The RVp patients had an adjusted 33% lower risk of death or heart failure hospitalization [hazard ratio (HR) 0.67 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.51\u20130.89, P = 0.005], while tending to have an adjusted lower risk of death (HR 0.73 95% CI 0.53\u20131.01, P = 0.055).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite similar ejection fraction pre-CRT, patients upgraded to CRT with previous RVp have smaller end-systolic volume and respond to CRT at least as well as, if not better than, other wide QRS heart failure patients.
