Bi ventricular pacemaker.

Hello everyone.My cardiologist has recommended I upgrade my 2 lead pacemaker to a 3 lead bi ventricular pacemaker to synchronise the ventricles. Has anyone else had this done and if so what was your experience.? He said that if I stayed with the 2 lead pacemaker my ejection fraction could get gradually worse and an upgrade to a bi ventricular pacemaker would help. I would be grateful for any experiences. Thanks.
