CRT implantation during HF hospitalization was associated with lower rates of mortality and HF re-hospitalization. These data suggest that a CRT utilization strategy that does not delay implantation to the post-discharge period may be appropriate. Randomized data are needed to definitively identify optimal timing of CRT implantation.
