Abstract
- The beneficial use of biventricular pacing is reported in a patient with end-stage hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, intraventricular conduction delay and echocardiographic evidence of intraventricular dyssyncrony. Marked improvement in clinical status, left ventricular ejection fraction and peak VO2 were observed. As far as we know, this is the first report of a beneficial effect of a biventricular device in this subset of patients, and may be worth further investigation.
