Response to cardiac resynchronization therapy resulting from an upgrade to dual-site left ventricular pacing
نویسنده
چکیده
A 56-year-old man with ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy underwent a secondary prevention biventricular implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implant. He did not respond symptomatically despite a good radiographic position of the left ventricular (LV) lead. On the basis of an acute hemodynamic study, a second LV lead was implanted, resulting in a good clinical response from dual-site LV pacing. Heart Metab. 2011;49:25–28.

Effects of Upgrade Versus De Novo Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy on Clinical Response and Long-Term Survival
The beneficial impact of newly implanted cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on morbidity and mortality are well described in selected patients with heart failure. Patients with heart failure already fitted with a conventional pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) system are often considered for a CRT upgrade after the new development of CRT criteria (ie, new left bundle...
متن کاملUpgrading to resynchronization therapy after chronic right ventricular pacing improves left ventricular remodelling.
AIMS Chronic right ventricular (RV) pacing may impose ventricular dyssynchrony leading to LV remodelling and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Upgrading patients with chronic RV pacing to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) may be considered to restore synchronicity and prevent these deleterious effects. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 172 patients from two tertiary cen...
متن کاملThe effects of right ventricular apical pacing on ventricular function and dyssynchrony implications for therapy.
Cardiac pacing is the only effective treatment for patients with sick sinus syndrome and atrioventricular conduction disorders. In cardiac pacing, the endocardial pacing lead is typically positioned at the right ventricular (RV) apex. At the same time, there is increasing indirect evidence, derived from large pacing mode selection trials and observational studies, that conventional RV apical pa...
متن کاملComprehensive use of cardiac computed tomography to guide left ventricular lead placement in cardiac resynchronization therapy
BACKGROUND Optimal lead positioning is an important determinant of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate cardiac computed tomography (CT) selection of the optimal epicardial vein for left ventricular (LV) lead placement by targeting regions of late mechanical activation and avoiding myocardial scar. METHODS Eighteen patients un...
متن کاملCase presentation: implantation of cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker via the coronary sinus in a patient with triple valve replacement
BACKGROUND In patients with triple valve replacement developing third-degree atrioventricular block (AVB), the most appropriate approach for permanent pacemaker implantation remains questionable. CASE PRESENTATION In this case presentation, we first described the approach of implantation of the cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (CRT-P) via one bipolar pacing lead in middle cardiac v...
