Unipolar over the wire Implanting the LV lead in small diameter coronary
veins, which type of resynchronization lv lead
design generally has the smallest diameter?
LBBB A minority of patients treated with bi-v pacing do
not improve clinically. Most of the following are
characteristics of non responder patients. What
