Description: Placement of a Biventricular ICD Illustration for the article, "Staying in Sync: Cardiac Resynchronization for Heart Failure." This image describes for patients the placement of three leads: one in the right atrium, and one in each ventricle. The lead for the left ventricle is passed through the coronary sinus and exits the heart via a small coronary vein. The lead is placed in the ventricle's muscle wall outside the heart.
