Effect of biventricular pacing on metabolism and perfusion in patients affected by dilated cardiomyopathy and left bundle branch block: evaluation by positron emission tomography

Evaluate the possible changes in myocardial metabolism and perfusion induced by biventricular pacing (BIVP) in patients affected by dilated cardiomyopathy (DC) and left bundle branch block (LBBB). Eight male patients (aged 60-79 years, mean 69) affected by DC (NYHA functional class III and ejection...
