Patients with congenital heart disease and univentricular circulation are vulnerable to ventricular dysfunction. In the context of atrioventricular conduction defects, a ventricular pacemaker may be placed, possibly introducing dyssynchronous wall motion and deterioration of ventricular pump function. We describe such a case in which repositioning of the ventricular lead restored synchronicity.
