TI  - Cardiac resynchronisation therapy versus dual site right ventricular pacing in a 
      patient with permanent pacemaker and congestive heart failure.
PG  - 380-4
AB  - A 46-year-old male patient who had long-term right ventricular (RV) pacing for 
      symptomatic complete heart block, initially by an epicardial, later with an 
      endocardial pacing lead at the RV apex, developed congestive heart failure (CHF) 
      and chronic atrial fibrillation 7 years following the pacemaker implantation and 
      was medically treated. During follow-up, his pacemaker was upgraded to a cardiac 
      resynchronisation therapy (CRT) device, because of uncontrolled CHF symptoms, New 
      York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class IV, while on drugs. The patient's 
      symptomatic status improved to NYHA functional class II with CRT. After 17 months 
      of CRT, the battery became depleted, because of the high capture threshold of the 
      left ventricular lead. The patient was then given dual site RV pacing (RV outflow 
      tract+RV apex) in place of CRT, which showed similar efficacy at 12 weeks 
      follow-up.
