Horizontal separation was larger in the group of the patients who died \(9,0 ± 1.8 cm vs 8,0 ±3,2 cm, p=0,0222\). Significant correlation between LV lead’s segment in AP chest X\-ray and LVESV was observed \(r = 0,75, p = 0,030\). Significant correlation between right lead segment in AP projection and narrowing of the QRS complex as well as change of LVESV were observed \(r = \-0,46, p = 0,022\; r = \-0,74, p = 0,037, \). In the lateral chest X\-ray RV lead’s segment correlated with change of the QRS complex \(r = \-0,51, p = 0,010\). There was correlation between narrowing of the QRS complex and absolute separation \(r = \-0,42, p = 0,036\) and horizontal separation \(r = \-0,41, p = 0,044\). LV EF increase was larger when RV lead was located in line 2 comparising to localization in line 3 or 4 \(45,12 ± 28,5% vs 18,1 ± 31,6%, p = 0,0406\), whereas QRS was narrower for line 3 and 4 comparising to line 2 \(\-19,3 ± 13,7 ms vs \-6,8 ± 10,0 ms, p = 0.0122\). Mean value of the left ventricle segment was higher in patient with decreased NT\-proBNP plasma concentration \(13,4 ± 2,4 vs 8,3 ± 2,3, p"]
