Left ventricular function during and after right ventricular pacing.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this research was to evaluate right ventricular pacing effects on left ventricular function. BACKGROUND Right ventricular pacing alters the ventricular activation sequence and reduces left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). It is unclear whether the observed reduction in EF can be completely attributed to the alteration in activation sequence. METHODS Twelve subjects ...
متن کاملDiffering effects of right ventricular pacing and left bundle branch block on left ventricular function.
OBJECTIVE To compare the different effects of right ventricular pacing and classic left bundle branch block on left ventricular function. DESIGN Retrospective and prospective study of 48 patients by electrocardiography, and M mode, cross sectional, and Doppler echocardiography. SETTING A tertiary cardiac referral centre. PATIENTS 48 patients (age range 21 to 89 years, 15 women), 24 with a...
متن کاملLeft ventricular function in chronic renal failure.
Left ventricular function was studied in 14 patients with end-stage chronic renal failure using non-invasive methods (echocardiography and systolic time intervals). Patients were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 consisted of 5 patients who were normotensive at the time of study and group 2 of 7 patients who were hypertensive when studied. Group 3 consisted of 2 patients: one was receiving propran...
متن کاملInfluence of right ventricular stimulation site on left ventricular function in atrial synchronous ventricular pacing.
OBJECTIVES The study investigates the correlation between left ventricular function and QRS duration obtained by alternate right ventricular pacing sites. BACKGROUND 1. Right ventricular apical pacing is associated with alterations of left ventricular contraction sequence. 2. A stimulation producing narrow QRS complexes is supposed to provide for better left ventricular contraction patterns. ...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Evaluation of left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation
Extended abstract Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important, leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as in renal transplant recipients. Cardiovascular complications become more important in children because of the i...
