Kardiale Resynchronisationstherapie mit «Multisite Linksventrikulärer Stimulation»

Abstract

SummaryCardiac resynchronisation therapy with multisite left ventricular stimulation Up to 30% of patients do not respond to conventional cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT). The recently introduced multisite pacing was developed to reduce this number. In multisite pacing, ventricular stimulation is delivered from more than one left ventricular site. This technology instantly improves cardiac haemodynamics, and improves systolic left ventricular function within three months. We here report the first implantation of a multisite pacing CRT device in Switzerland. Future large-scale studies are needed to prove the superiority of this new technology to conventional CRT, also in terms of morbidity and mortality.
