1. A method of predicting whether a subject can reasonably be expected to experience beneficial cardiac reverse remodelling due to delivery of a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), comprising:

  • measuring an inter-ventricular mechanical delay (IVMD) of a heart failure patient during an episode of normal sinus rhythm (NSR); and

    based at least in part upon the magnitude of the measured IVMD, predicting whether the patient can be expected to successfully experience beneficial reverse remodelling of at least a part of the patient'"'"'s heart in response CRT delivery.
