Excellent description of practical Biventricular pacemaker If you want to go deeper in your understanding of how Bi-V pacer works, how to adjust its setting (including the use of echo to optimize timing), and how to put that wire in tough coronary sinus anatomy: you will be glad you get this book...or get a rep to buy it for you.
