Besides adjusting heart rate, there has been new applications for pacing in congestive heart failure and severe cardiomyopathy. In heart failure even without bradycardia, ventricular stimulation maybe suitable for wide QRS patients (left bundle branch block or right ventricular endocardial pacing). In these cases, biventricular stimulation (one lead in the RV and the other in the LV by the coronary sinus or epicardial approach) can improve the cardiac index from 15 up to 25%, being a well established and accepted pacemaker indication. However, we have observed that right ventricular endocardial bifocal stimulation, with one apex lead and one high septum lead (intraventricular resynchronization), can also increase the cardiac index from 10 to 25% with important reduction in the mitral regurgitation and left atrium area without the inconvenience of the thoracotomy or the stimulation by the coronary sinus. We have found that this stimulation causes good systolic and remarkable diastolic improvements. Hence, in the next years we will certainly have great progresses in leads and pacemakers allowing multi-site cardiac pacing to be used thoroughly, in treatment and prevention of heart failure.
