Abstract

The beneficial use of biventricular pacing is reported in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and intraventricular conduction delay. This resulted in improvements in symptomatic status and exercise tolerance that may be related to cardiac resynchronisation. The improvement in symptoms by biventricular pacing in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and intraventricular conduction delay is previously undocumented and requires further investigation.

  • biventricular pacing
  • hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • HCM, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • IVCD, intraventricular conduction delay
  • LV, left ventricle
  • LVOT, left ventricular outflow tract
  • MUSTIC, multisite stimulation in cardiomyopathy
  • RV, right ventricle
