Abstract

We present the case of a 5-month-old infant with tetralogy of Fallot and congenital atrio-ventricular block that developed severe left ventricular dysfunction during apical left ventricular pacing, in which cardiac resynchronisation therapy was used as an emergency procedure due to persistent low cardiac output syndrome.
