Abstract

Ondanks de vooruitgang die de afgelopen decennia is geboekt bij de behandeling van patiënten met ernstig hartfalen, blijven de morbiditeit en mortaliteit hoog.1–5 Zo ontwikkelen veel patiënten ernstige symptomen van progressief hartfalen en overlijden uiteindelijk aan de gevolgen ervan. Een grote groep echter ontwikkelt verder supra- en/of ventriculaire ritmestoornissen die de behandeling ernstig kunnen compliceren. Vooral kamerritmestoornissen dragen in belangrijke mate bij aan de hoge mortaliteit van deze patiënten.5,6
