[Echocardiographic examination in patients with corrected transposition of great arteries (L-TGA, ccTGA) with failure of systemic (anatomically) right ventricle treated with resynchronisation therapy].
A congestive heart failure is common in population of adult patients with congenital heart disease, especially among patients with systemic right ventricle. According to literature 4-9% of patients with systemic right ventricle can be treated with resynchronisation therapy (CRT). Authors present results of echocardiographic examination in two patients with ccTGA treated by CRT because of failure of systemic right ventricle.
