The article represents the successful experience of using resynchronization therapy in young children with dilated cardiomyopathy associated with conduction disturbances. The intervention allowed reducing the heart failure symptoms and improving hemodynamic indices due to the reverse left ventricular remodeling. Resynchronization therapy is an effective modern invasive method for the treatment of chronic heart failure and can be considered as a method of treatment in patients refractory to drug therapy, including those referred for heart transplantation.
