| Summary: | Cui Xie,1 Yang Xiang,1 You Wu,1 Youen Zhang1,2 1Institute of Clinical Medicine and Department of Cardiology, Renmin Hospital, Hubei University of Medicine, Shiyan, Hubei, 442000, People’s Republic of China; 2Arteriosclerosis Cardiovascular Disease Clinical Medical Research Center of Hubei Province, Shiyan, Hubei, 442000, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: Youen Zhang, Email zye112@hotmail.comAbstract: We present a patient of a 46-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital due to chest tightness and shortness of breath that lasted for over a month. Echocardiography revealed left-ventricle diameter (anteroposterior) of 54 mm, electrocardiogram showed sinus bradycardia, and QRS duration of 90 ms. The patient experienced no chest tightness or shortness of breath, and there was a marked improvement in exercise tolerance and quality of life after cardiac contractility modulation implantation.Keywords: heart failure, cardiac contractility modulation, dilated cardiomyopathy, ventricular remodeling |
