title: Anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy: favourable effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy.
abstract: We report a case of severe refractory congestive heart failure after anthracycline chemotherapy in a patient with a narrow QRS interval on the electrocardiogram and echocardiographic evidence of left ventricular dyssynchrony, where cardiac resynchronization therapy resulted in normalization of left ventricular ejection fraction and marked symptomatic relief.
