Abstract
Biventricular pacing in patients with advanced heart failure and intraventricular conduction delay has been associated with improvement in hemodynamics, functional class, and quality of life [1-3]. More information is needed about clinical and instrumental identification of responders and the long-term follow-up of these patients. Nevertheless, a positive response to biventricular pacing is expected when the electrical resynchronization is achieved [4].
