Con la terapia de resincronización cardíaca se han obtenido beneficios en hasta un 70% de los pacientes con disfunción ventricular izquierda y bloqueo de rama izquierda. La disponibilidad en el mercado de dispositivos con capacidad para determinar diferentes secuencias de activación auriculoventricular y ventriculares pretende optimizar la efectividad de estos dispositivos y mejorar la respuesta clínica de los pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca. Sin embargo, todavía hay muchas incógnitas al respecto en la programación, como son la metodología a seguir y su eficacia clínica. A continuación revisamos el estado actual de estas limitaciones.
