title: Evaluation of appropriate pacing with myocardial perfusion and cardiac function as a treatment of end-stage idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
abstract: We sought to determine an appropriate pacing mode on the basis of myocardial perfusion and cardiac function as assessed by nitrogen-13 ammonia positron emission tomography in a patient with end-stage idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
