This Medudy course is a video tutorial for physicians on the topic of "Resynchronization Defibrillation in Heart Failure". The format used here is a so-called "Journal Club Summary", in which we summarize the latest and most clinically relevant studies for you.
The RAFT study has shown that patients who receive cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) have a higher mortality rate after 5 years compared to patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD-D). However, the effects of CRT on long-term survival are not yet known.
Note: All "speakers" appearing in the Medudy videos are AI-based avatars used to improve the didactics of the videos. The people on whom the avatars are based have explicitly consented to their use. All content is based on high-quality scientific sources and is created and reviewed by the Medudy medical team.
At the end of this course you will know
- the clinical background and relevance of the research question under investigation
- the study design and methodology of the publication to answer the research question
- the results and key takeaways of the publication
- the conclusion of the publication and possible limitations
