[Ventricular fibrillation effectively treated by wearable automatic defibrillator - a case report].

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is an important advance in the treatment of chronic heart failure. The aim of CRT is biventricular capture in all beats. However, inadequate delivery of biventricular pacing is still seen in about 30% of patients with an implanted CRT device. Device interrogation is a ...
