title: Long-term effectiveness of dual site left ventricular cardiac resynchronization therapy in a patient with congestive heart failure.
abstract: This article describes a case of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) performed with dual site left ventricular pacing. The main clinical and functional long-term results are in agreement with the most recent data regarding traditional CRT. Furthermore, this innovative pacing modality allowed optimal inter- and intraventricular resynchronization.
