Objectives We aimed to evaluate the relationship between echocardiographic response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and the risk of subsequent ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTAs).Background Current data regarding the effect of CRT on the risk of VTA are limited and conflicting.Methods The risk of a first appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy for VTA (including ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and ventricular flutter) was compared between high-and low-echocardiographic responders to CRT defibrillator (CRT-D) therapy (defined as >= 25% and
