Abstract
This paper reviews the beginnings and the evolution of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), which required technological innovation and manual dexterity for its application. The expectations of CRT and its problems today are analysed. The frequent need for CRT with defibrillation capacity is discussed. Future development of CRT is anticipated.
