Abstract
Cardiac resynchronization through biventricular pacing has proved to be an effective therapy in patients with severe heart failure (HF) with interventricular conduction disorders [1-7]. Nevertheless, about 25% of selected HF patients do not respond to synchronous biventricular pacing. The optimization of therapy in terms of pacing site(s) and interventricular delay is still under discussion.
