*Right ventricular lead | *Right ventricular lead | ||
*Left ventricular lead | *Left ventricular lead. The left ventricular lead is usually positioned in the coronary sinus, alternatively it can be positioned epicardially on the left ventricle (by a surgical procedure) or intracardially in the left ventricle (through a transseptal puncture). | ||

Programming should specifically aim at ensuring atrial-synchronous permanent biventricular pacing, by performing AV-interval optimization (echocardiography guided or using invasive haemodynamic measurments) and performing ventricular-ventricle (VV) interval optimization. Further programming, follow up and complications are similar to pacemakers and ICDs (see above). | Programming should specifically aim at ensuring atrial-synchronous permanent biventricular pacing, by performing AV-interval optimization (echocardiography guided or using invasive haemodynamic measurments) and performing ventricular-ventricle (VV) interval optimization.
