CASE REPORT
Biventricular pacing in a patient with ventilatory and inotropic dependant heart failure following coronary artery by-pass surgery
Manchester Heart Centre, Manchester Royal Infirmary Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9WL, UK
Resynchronisation of intra- and interventricular conduction delay by biventricular pacing has become a proven therapy for selected heart failure patients. We present a case of biventricular pacing, used with great success, as a bail out for a patient with refractory congestive heart failure following by-pass surgery.
Key Words: biventricular pacing, heart failure, coronary artery by-pass grafting
