In patients with heart failure implanted with conventional pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy results in significant benefits. The upgrade of previously implanted devices to biventricular pacing may be technically challenging. We report one case of upgrade to biventricular pacing and describe the related technical implications and the therapeutic solutions adopted.
在植入传统起搏器的心力衰竭患者中,心脏再同步治疗可带来显著益处。将先前植入的设备升级为双心室起搏在技术上可能具有挑战性。我们报告了一例升级为双心室起搏的病例,并描述了相关的技术问题及所采用的治疗方案。
