REVIEW METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Evidence from randomised controlled trials is insufficient to show the superiority of combined cardiac resynchronisation and implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy over cardiac resynchronisation therapy alone in patients with left ventricular impairment.
