Cardiac resynchronisation therapy can help to improve left ventricular function in patients with heart failure, but only if those regions of myocardium which are mostly compromised by electromechanical desynchronisation can be identified and effectively stimulated
Keywords: cardiac resynchronisation therapy; heart failure; non-contact mapping
Abbreviations: CHF, congestive heart failure; CRT, cardiac resynchronisation therapy; LBBB, left bundle branch block
