Does Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy improve ventricular function in children and congenital heart disease patients?

Population

Children and congenital heart disease (CHD) patients

Intervention

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) and multisite pacing

Outcome

Acute improvement in ventricular functionsurrogate

CRT provides acute improvement in ventricular function in pediatric and CHD patients, but requires highly individualized implantation strategies.
