Evaluation of Left Ventricular Endocardial Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in a Non-responder with Ventricular Arrhythmias.
Approximately one third of patients treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy do not derive any detectable benefit. In these patients, acute invasive hemodynamic evaluation can be used for therapy optimization. This report describes the use of systematic invasive hemodynamic measurements for clinical decision making in a patient who experienced severe ventricular arrhythmias and clinical deterioration following a biventricular upgrade.
