Patients upgraded to cardiac resynchronization therapy due to pacing-induced cardiomyopathy are at low risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias: a long-term cause-of-death analysis
ConclusionOur findings suggest that patients who develop pacing-induced cardiomyopathy and are upgraded to CRT may not derive any significant benefit from the addition of the defibrillator in the absence of a history of ventricular arrhythmias.
