Resynchronization therapy is a strategic therapeutic recommended in patients with ventricular dysfunction and prolonged QRS, but only two-thirds of patients have echocardiographic improvement. The aim of this study was to compare whether ventricular lead implantation in the septum versus apical localization might have some effect on left ventricular remodeling in patients with an indication of cardiac resynchronization device. A total of 263 patients were included randomized to either electrode location; no differences in clinical or echocardiographic follow-up at 12 months were observed.
