Abstract
Dextrocardia is a rare anomaly. Although other congenital defects may accompany this anomaly, many patients have normally functioninghearts, and when they get old, they face common cardiac disorders, namely coronary heart diease and heart failure and may require pacemakerimplantation. The number of papers reporting biventricular pacemaker implantation in these patients is limited. We report a woman of advancedage with dextrocardia who underwent biventricular cardiac pacemaker implantation for advanced heart failure.
