Resynchronization therapy after congenital heart surgery to improve left ventricular function

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2003 Oct;26(10):2042-4. doi: 10.1046/j.1460-9592.2003.00316.x.

Abstract

This report describes the mid-term beneficial hemodynamic effect of biventricular pacing in an infant with congestive heart failure after congenital heart surgery, due to resynchronization of the left and right ventricle, optimization of the AV delay, and (partial) correction of the LV dyssynchrony.
