Surgery for cardiomyopathy with mitral regurgitation and dyssynchrony.
We present a case of dilated cardiomyopathy with medically intractable congestive heart failure, which was improved by surgical intervention including mitral valve repair and biventricular pacing. This strategy is effective against dilated cardiomyopathy with interventricular dyssynchrony and mitral regurgitation.
