Background Heart failure patients with stable angina, acute coronary syndromes and valvular heart disease may benefit from revascularisation and/or valve surgery. However, the mortality rate is increased- 5-30%.

Late deterioration of left ventricular function after right ventricular pacemaker implantation [PDF]
Objectives: Right ventricular (RV) pacing induces a left bundle branch block pattern on ECG and may promote heart failure. Patients with dual chamber pacemakers (DCPs) who present with progressive reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ...

The effectiveness of the cardiac resynchronization in a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in multiple and large trials has been demonstrated to improve symptoms and decrease hospitalization and mortality of patients when used in addition to optimal medical therapy.

Suboptimal biventricular pacing. What is the mechanism?
Suboptimal biventricular pacing has deleterious effects on patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy. We describe a unique case of suboptimal biventricular pacing and our approach to overcome it.

Giant cell myocarditis masquerading as orbital myositis with a rapid, fulminant course necessitating mechanical support and heart transplantation. [PDF]
Giant cell myocarditis (GCM), a rapidly progressive inflammation of the myocardium, is associated with fulminant heart failure, refractory ventricular arrhythmias, and conduction system abnormalities.

The relation between cardiac 123I-mIBG scintigraphy and functional response 1 year after CRT implantation [PDF]
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a disease-modifying therapy in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Current guidelines ascribe CRT eligibility on three parameters only: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), QRS duration, and New ...

Device rounds: T-wave oversensing: A cause of loss of cardiac resynchronization therapy
A CRT-D patient presented with loss of biventricular pacing associated with heart failure symptoms. The electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm with alternating wide unpaced and narrower paced QRS complexes.
