ANALYSIS OF EARLY AND LATE OUTCOMES OF RESYNCHRONIZATION THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH SINUS RHYTHM AND ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

To assess the early and late outcomes of the cardiac resynchronization therapy, 42 patients aged 49.3±5.5 years with chronic heart failure of functional class IIIIV including 22 ones with the sinus rhythm and 20 subjects with atrial fibrillation were examined.
