Methods: All consecutive EDMD patients receiving CRT devices for symptomatic heart failure with impaired left ventricular ejection fraction despite optimal medical therapy were enrolled in the study. Implantations were performed under local anaesthesia, after individual assessment by a heart-team. Demographic, clinical, echocardiographic and device-interrogation data were collected during the follow-up period.Results: From 2002 to 2013, 11 EDMD patients had CRT (4 males (36%); mean age 52±5 years): 10/11 (91%) were upgrading procedures from a pacemaker (2/10) or implantable defibrillator (8/10), one patient had no prior device. Average pacing percentage was 95% before CRT upgrade. Average NYHA was 2.6 before implantation. Most patients had right ventricular dysfunction with severe tricuspid regurgitation (75%). 10/11 patients (91%) received CRT-Defibrillators. One patient (9%) required re-intervention for pocket hematoma. Median follow-up was 21 months. Average biventricular pacing rate was 98%. Among patients implanted with defibrillators, 8/10 (80%) had appropriate therapies for ventricular arrhythmias, 2/10 (20%) had inappropriate therapies. Median left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 37.5% at last follow-up vs 37% before CRT. Median left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was 61.5 mm at last follow-up vs 60 mm before CRT. Despite CRT, 6/11 patients (55%) had heart transplantation after a 11 months' median follow-up period.Conclusion: Despite optimal CRT, heart transplantation is often rapidly necessary in EDMD, as this is a progressive disease leading to severe biventricular failure. Right ventricular dysfunction and severe tricuspid regurgitation may partly explain these patients' poor prognosis despite CRT.
