Longevity and Innovation: Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in a 100‐Year‐Old Patient With Severe Heart Failure—A 4‐Year Follow‐Up
Abstract
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been shown to improve outcomes in patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) and electrical dyssynchrony. This case report presents a 100-year-old male with a history of atrial fibrillation (AF), left bundle branch block (LBBB), and ischemic heart disease, who was admitted with chest pain and episodes of bradycardia. After careful consideration, CRT-P was successfully implanted. The patient's condition was closely monitored postimplantation, and a 4-year follow-up revealed significant symptomatic improvement and functional independence. This report highlights the importance of CRT-P in improving quality of life and managing heart failure in very elderly patients.
