Cardiac resynchronization therapy: relevance of right ventricular function evaluation.
Heart failure constitutes one of the major public health problems with an incidence that approaches 10 per 1000 population after 65 years of age. The majority of clinical trials have focused mostly on left ventricular (LV) failure and have led to established therapeutic approaches that are included in the current guidelines. In contrast, right ventricular (RV) failure is poorly understood and i...
متن کاملEarlier Right Ventricular Pacing in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy for a Patient with Right Axis Deviation
We describe the case of a 37-year-old woman who presented with complete right bundle branch block and right axis deviation. She was admitted to our hospital due to severe heart failure and was dependent on inotropic agents. Cardiac resynchronization therapy was initiated but did not improve her condition. After the optimization of the pacing timing, we performed earlier right ventricular pacing...
متن کاملImprovement of Right Ventricular Hemodynamics with Left Ventricular Endocardial Pacing during Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with biventricular epicardial (BV-CS) or endocardial left ventricular (LV) stimulation (BV-EN) improves LV hemodynamics. The effect of CRT on right ventricular function is less clear, particularly for BV-EN. Our objective was to compare the simultaneous acute hemodynamic response (AHR) of the right and left ventricles (RV and LV) with BV-CS and...
متن کاملCardiac Resynchronization Therapy for Left Ventricular Dysfunction Induced by Chronic Right Ventricular Pacing in a Child
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been proven its value in adult patients with congestive heart failure of low ejection fraction and wide QRS duration. Contrast to adult patients, CRT has been rarely applied for young patients. We report on a 9-yr-old boy with progressive left ventricular (LV) dilatation and dysfunction following chronic VVI pacemaker therapy for congenital complete a...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of right ventricular function in responders and non-responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to determine whether baseline right ventricular (RV) function assessed by standard echocardiography may indicate patients who will respond to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). MATERIAL AND METHODS The data of 57 patients (54 men, 95%), aged 66.4 ±8.7 years with heart failure (HF) having a CRT device implanted were collected. All patients had left ...
