biventricular pacing


Biventricular pacing, or cardiac resynchronization, is a treatment for heart failure that uses a pacemaker implanted in the chest. The pacemaker sends tiny electrical impulses to the heart muscle to coordinate the pumping of the chambers of the heart, improving pumping efficiency and reducing the symptoms of heart failure.
