This report describes the mid‐term beneficial hemodynamic effect of biventricular pacing in an infant with congestive heart failure after congenital heart surgery, due to resynchronization of the left and right ventricle, optimization of the AV delay, and (partial) correction of the LV dyssynchrony.
