title: [Late dislocation of the left ventricular lead as a cause of clinical and functional worsening during cardiac resynchronization therapy].
abstract: Efficacy of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in heart failure is also related to correct positioning of the left ventricular lead. We report the case of a patient treated by CRT who presented, after 6 years of implantation, rapid clinical and functional worsening due to dislodgment of the left ventricular lead.
