ABSTRACT
We present a case of a 76-year-old man with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated severe left ventricular (LV) impairment with possibility of scar formation. Cardiac resynchronization therapy was employed with the aid of a novel quadripolar LV lead. The quadripolar LV lead can be programmed for 10 different pacing configurations, allowing the electrophysiologist freedom to optimize the vector around scar and also avoid phrenic nerve stimulation without the requirement of LV lead repositioning.
