Long-term effectiveness of dual site left ventricular cardiac resynchronization therapy in a patient with congestive heart failure

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2004 Jun;27(6 Pt 1):805-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8159.2004.00532.x.

Abstract

This article describes a case of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) performed with dual site left ventricular pacing. The main clinical and functional long-term results are in agreement with the most recent data regarding traditional CRT. Furthermore, this innovative pacing modality allowed optimal inter- and intraventricular resynchronization.
