A member asked:

My partner has an enlarged heart, irregular heartbeat and one chamber is 30%. does he need a pacemaker? valves ok.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: If your partner has a left bundle branch block, he may be a candidate for a bi-ventricular resynchronization icd. Ask to be referred to an electrophysiologist. Even if he doesn't have a lbbb, he may be candidate for a single chamber icd.
