Feasibility of biventricular pacing in patients with recent myocardial infarction: impact on ventricular remodeling

To test the hypothesis that biventricular pacing after a myocardial infarction with reduced ejection fraction can attenuate left ventricular (LV) remodeling, the authors studied 18 patients (myocardial infarction within 30-45 days, ejection fraction <or=30%, narrow QRS) randomized to biventricula...
