Reverse remodeling with resynchronization in an asymptomatic patient with dilated hypokinetic cardiomyopathy.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a validated treatment for selected heart failure patients who remain highly symptomatic despite optimal drug treatment. Yet there is currently no indication for CRT in patients with few or no symptoms. We report a spectacular "reverse remodeling" effect after CRT in an asymptomatic patient with hypokinetic dilated myocardiopathy who needed pacing for atrio-ventricular conduction disorder.
