NCT01019915

Brief Summary

Heart failure patients with left bundle branch block have a poor prognosis. Biventricular pacing which synchronize the heart pump action is associated with improved functional capacity. This study aims to evaluate the basic changes in skeletal muscle functioning after a period of biventricular pacing in 21 patients with heart failure.
