Beneficial Effects of Upgrading from Right Ventricular Pacing to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Patients with Heart Failure Compared to de Novo Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

Background: The effects of upgrading from right ventricular (RV) pacing to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with heart failure remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the improvement of cardiac function in patients upgraded from RV pacing to CRT. Methods: We studied...
