Beneficial effects of biventricular pacing in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and intraventricular conduction delay.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The beneficial use of biventricular pacing is reported in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and intraventricular conduction delay. This resulted in improvements in symptomatic status and exercise tolerance that may be related to cardiac resynchronisation. The improvement in symptoms by biventricular pacing in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and intraventricular conduction delay is previously undocumented and requires further investigation.

Successful treatment of end-stage hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with biventricular cardiac pacing.
The beneficial use of biventricular pacing is reported in a patient with end-stage hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, intraventricular conduction delay and echocardiographic evidence of intraventricular dyssyncrony. Marked improvement in clinical status, left ventricular ejection fraction and peak VO2 were observed. As far as we know, this is the first report of a beneficial effect of a biventricular...
متن کاملFrontiers in congestive heart failure: Ventricular contraction abnormalities in dilated cardiomyopathy: effect of biventricular pacing to correct interventricular dyssynchrony.
OBJECTIVE To measure ventricular contractile synchrony in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and to evaluate the effects of biventricular pacing on contractile synchrony and ejection fraction. BACKGROUND Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by abnormal ventricular activation and contraction. Biventricular pacing may promote a more coordinated ventricular contraction pattern in thes...
متن کاملImproved left ventricular mechanics from acute VDD pacing in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and ventricular conduction delay.
BACKGROUND Ventricular pacing can improve hemodynamics in heart failure patients, but direct effects on left ventricular (LV) function from varying pacing site and atrioventricular (AV) delay remain unknown. We hypothesized that the magnitude and location of basal intraventricular conduction delay critically influences pacing responses and that single-site pacing in the delay-activated region y...
متن کاملMechanical dyssynchrony in dilated cardiomyopathy with intraventricular conduction delay as depicted by 3D tagged magnetic resonance imaging.
Recent studies have generated interest in the potential for left or biventricular pacing to improve cardiac function in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and intraventricular conduction delays.1–4 The premise is that these hearts display profound basal mechanical dyssynchrony and that pacing can restore synchronization and, thereby, improve function. Here, we demonstrate the extent of mechan...
متن کاملAtriobiventricular pacing improves exercise capacity in patients with heart failure and intraventricular conduction delay.
OBJECTIVES We sought to assess the efficacy of biventricular pacing with respect to both peak and submaximal measures of exercise in patients with New York Heart Association class III heart failure (HF) and intraventricular conduction delay in a randomized, blinded study. BACKGROUND Submaximal and maximal changes in exercise capacity need evaluating in this patient population with this novel ...
