Ventricular remodeling in right ventricular apical pacing.
OBJECTIVE To determine ventricular remodeling (VR) and the role of clinical and functional variables in patients with normal cardiac function who underwent right ventricular apical pacing (RVAP). METHODS Among the 268 consecutive patients with standard pacemaker due to complete atrioventricular block (CAVB), those with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 55% and left ventricular end-d...
متن کاملThe Downside of Right Ventricular Apical Pacing
The right ventricular (RV) apex has been the standard pacing site since the development of implantable pacemaker technology. Although RV pacing was initially only utilized for the treatment of severe bradyarrhythmias usually due to complete heart block, today the indications for and implantation of RV pacing devices is dramatically larger. Recently, the adverse effects of chronic RV apical paci...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Outflow Tract Septal Pacing Is Superior to Right Ventricular Apical Pacing
BACKGROUND The effects of right ventricular apical pacing (RVAP) and right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) septal pacing on atrial and ventricular electrophysiology have not been thoroughly compared. METHODS AND RESULTS To identify a more favorable pacing strategy with fewer adverse effects, 80 patients who had complete atrioventricular block with normal cardiac function and who were treated...
متن کاملElectrical storm: Is right ventricular pacing dangerous?
Introduction: Electrical storm is commonly defined as the occurrence of three or more episodes of ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) in 24 hours. Patients with an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) are at increased risk of electrical storm due to history of decreased ejection fraction and/or sustained VT/VF. In addition to medical treatment of electrical storm in...
متن کاملRight ventricular apex pacing: is it obsolete?
Clinical trials in patients with pacemakers for sinus node dysfunction or atrioventricular block have highlighted the fact that desynchronization of ventricular contraction induced by right ventricular apical pacing is associated with long-term morbidity and mortality. These clinical data confirm pathophysiological results indicating that right ventricular apical pacing causes abnormal ventricu...
