[Effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy in the treatment of chronic heart failure].
As a result of cardiac resynchronization therapy in all 10 patients with chronic NYHA class III-IV heart failure at duration of observation from 2 to 20 months was noted positive dynamics: improvement of self feeling, increase of 6 min walking distance, decrease of heart failure class, and improvement of functional parameters of the heart according to echocardiography data. Implantation of biventricular cardiac pacemaker to patients with chronic heart failure is relatively safe and accomplish-able from technical point of view. Cardiac resynchronization in patients with pronounced chronic heart failure appears to be an effective supplementation of drug therapy.
