متن کاملHeart failure during cardiac pacing.
BACKGROUND Right ventricular apical (RVA) pacing creates abnormal left ventricular contraction, hypertrophy, and reduced pump function. The adverse effects of ventricular desynchronization may explain the association of RVA pacing with an increased risk of heart failure hospitalization (HFH) in clinical trials. METHODS AND RESULTS Baseline and postimplantation variables were used to predict H...
متن کاملPacing in congestive heart failure
Despite the major advances in medical drug therapy, heart failure remains a syndrome associated with high mortality and morbidity. Biventricular or left ventricular (LV) short atrioventricular (AV) delay pacing is being tested in congestive heart failure patients with left bundle branch block. The aim is to resynchronise the dyscoordinate LV contraction. A number of studies are underway, but it...
متن کاملCardiac resynchronization with sequential biventricular pacing for the treatment of moderate-to-severe heart failure.
OBJECTIVES The InSync III study evaluated sequential cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with moderate-to-severe heart failure and prolonged QRS. BACKGROUND Simultaneous CRT improves hemodynamic and clinical performance in patients with moderate-to-severe heart failure (HF) and a wide QRS. Recent evidence suggests that sequentially stimulating the ventricles might provide addi...
متن کاملVentricular resynchronization through biventricular cardiac pacing for the treatment of refractory heart failure in dilated cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVE The biventricular pacing (BVP) approach has good results in the treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF) in patients (pts) with disorders of intraventricular conduction. METHODS We have applied BVP to 28 pts, with left ventricular pacing using minitoracotomy in 3 pts and the transvenous approach via coronary sinus in 25 pts. The mean duration of the QRS complexes was 187 ms, in t...
