56 year old male, diagnosed with alcoholic dilated cardiomyopathy in functional class IV of New York Heart Association (NYHA), to whom cardiac resynchro-nization therapy was applied. The left ventricular elec-trode was placed in the anterolateral region via the coronary sinus. A month after the procedure he was reassessed when he reported symptoms similar to his condition before implantation. His blood pressure was 70/40 mmHg, and an electrocardiogram (Figure 1) and an echocardiogram were performed.
