Author's summary It is challenging to select the candidate for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in pediatric and congenital heart disease (CHD) patients because of their complex cardiac anatomy and various etiology of heart failure. Among 16 patients in this study, 75% showed improvement in ventricular function and functional status after CRT implantation, which was more pronounced in the group with congenital atrioventricular block with right ventricular pacing or dilated cardiomyopathy with left bundle branch block. This study suggests that CRT would be helpful for highly selected pediatric and CHD patients.
