摘要：

Cardiac resynchronization therapy has been proven to improve symptoms and indices of left ventricular function in patients with heart failure and intraventricular conduction delays. We present a case of a patient with New York Association Class III heart failure and left bundle branch block, who received a biventricular pacemaker in order to achieve cardiac resynchronization. Her symptoms improved markedly, as did left ventricular ejection fraction and dimensions. In addition, her intrinsic QRS duration normalized. This may represent a salutory effect of biventricular pacing on electrical remodeling.
