Purpose: In spite of technological breakthroughs, the choice of a suitable location for the coronary sinus (CS) lead in biventricular implants is still mostly empiric. The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of a radiological index-the distance between the right ventricular (RV) and CS lead tips on fluoroscopic recordings, measured by means of a new method-as a tool for selecting the most profitable left ventricular (LV) lead position.

Methods: Forty-nine consecutive patients (36 male, 13female; mean age 63 ± 19 year), in whom the LV electrode was implanted in a lateral/postero-lateral position in the CS, were evaluated immediately after implantation.
