Abstract:
Biventricular (BiV) pacing is a promising therapy for severe heart failure. The effect of BiV pacing is cardiac resynchronization of both ventricles. Asynchrony of the ventricular contraction and restoration of cardiac synchronization can be assessed by tissue Doppler imaging. Here we describe a patient with Becker muscular dystrophy with heart failure caused by dilated cardiomyopathy in whom a BiV pacemaker was implanted.
