Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of permanent biventricular pacing using three ventricular leads, and its efficacy in terms of inter and intra-ventricular resynchronization, in patients with congestive heart failure and a non-functional atrium (chronic AF).

  • Presenting a dysthyreosis;
  • Having a life expectancy of less than one year, for other reasons than the congestive heart failure;
