May support pacing strategies in select pediatric CHD; leaves open need for prospective multicenter trials.
Does cardiac resynchronization pacing therapy provide physiologic benefits and defer heart transplantation in younger patients with congenital heart defects?
Cardiac resynchronization pacing may offer physiologic benefits and delay the need for heart transplantation in select pediatric patients with congenital heart defects, though robust multicenter studies are still needed.
Peter P. Karpawich (2007) conducted a review in Congenital heart defects. Cardiac resynchronization pacing therapy was evaluated. Cardiac resynchronization and alternative site pacing in pediatric patients with congenital heart defects may provide physiologic benefits and delay the need for heart transplantation.
