Biventricular pacing in a patient with ventilatory and inotropic dependant heart failure following coronary artery by-pass surgery.

Resynchronisation of intra- and interventricular conduction delay by biventricular pacing has become a proven therapy for selected heart failure patients. We present a case of biventricular pacing, used with great success, as a 'bail out' for a patient with refractory congestive heart failure following by-pass surgery.
