Background Multisite ventricular pacing has recently been proposed as an additional treatment
for patients with severe congestive heart failure. To further assess the potential value of …

Permanent left ventricular pacing has been shown to imporve the hemodynamic and clinical
status of patients with severe heart failure. To pace the left ventricle, the electrode is …

Objectives We sought to determine if amelioration of left bundle branch block (LBBB)-induced
contraction disturbances achieved by left ventricular (LV)-based pacing could result in …

Background Recent case reports suggest that benfluorex, a fenfluramine derivative used in
the management of overweight diabetic patients and dyslipidemia, is associated with cardiac …

Adebate has been going on for many years on the so-called alcoholic cardiomyopathy: is it
just a dilated cardiomyopathy occurring in a heavy drinker or is there a cause and effect …

Aims Effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with right ventricular
pacing and congestive heart failure (CHF) have only been reported in limited series. CRT in …

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to report prospectively the results of six-month follow-up
of permanent left ventricular (LV) based pacing in patients with severe congestive heart …

BACKGROUND: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a recognized treatment modality
for patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), left bundle branch block, and severe …

Background— Resynchronization therapy by simultaneous pacing of the right and left ventricles
has gained wide acceptance as a useful treatment for patients with severe congestive …

We demonstrated recently that left ventricular (LV) based pacing improves the acute
hemodynamic status of patients with severe cardiac failure. 1 Similarly, others have proposed that …
