Biventricular Pacemaker Implantation
The Heart Center at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center was the first in North Carolina to offer patients with severe heart failure the biventricular pacemaker, the first device approved for treating the heart condition. On average, patients improve one point on the New York Heart Association Heart Failure Classification scale.
Biventricular Pacemaker Implantation
The biventricular pacemaker synchronizes left ventricular septal and free wall activation to improve cardiac output in patients with heart failure and ventricular conduction abnormalities. Biventricular pacing systems can be incorporated into a pacemaker or defibrillator depending upon the patient's clinical need.
