- Abstract
The application of diverse possibilities of treatment in ever greater number of patients with heart failure represents a significant progress in improvement of prognosis, quality of life and extension of life. Variables obtained on the basis of echocardiography may much more contribute to making indication for the implantation of biventricular pacemaker than what has been the case so far. In many diverse variables, it is necessary to define those applied in screening patients for implantation and monitoring symptomatic patients with implanted device, for the purpose of optimization of resynchronization system. The purpose of this article written following the debate by the participants of the 12th Croatian Symposium on Arrhythmias and Electrostimulation is to stimulate further constructive debate.
