QI narrowing after CRT was related to greater echocardiographic reverse remodeling and a lower rate of adverse events (death or cardiovascular hospitalizations). The QI can improve the prediction of adverse events in a population with CRT regardless of comorbidities according to the Charlson Comorbidity Index. QI could be used to predict CRT response.
