Two-Point Left Ventricle Pacing and Cardiac Computed Tomography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endocardial leads can potentially cause problems during coronary vessels visualization in multislice computed tomography (MSCT) due to a large number of artifacts. Based on presented case, we conclude that it is possible to perform MSCT of coronary arteries and leads visualization despite coexistence of four endocardial leads.

Validation of the mapping accuracy of a novel non-invasive epicardial and endocardial electrophysiology system
AIMS Use of a non-invasive electrocardiographic mapping system may aid in rapid diagnosis of atrial or ventricular arrhythmias or the detection of ventricular dyssynchrony. The aim of the present study was to validate the mapping accuracy of a novel non-invasive epi- and endocardial electrophysiology system (NEEES). METHODS AND RESULTS Patients underwent pre-procedural computed tomography or ...
متن کاملImproving cardiac function after cardiac surgery by biventricular pacing in patient selected by three-dimensional echocardiography.
We present the case of a 57-year-old woman with severe aortic regurgitation and ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction 34%) requiring surgical intervention. In pre-operative period, no left ventricular (LV) asynchrony was detected by QRS duration and current echocardiographic techniques, including tissue Doppler imaging. A new echocardiographic technology, the timing of regional volumetric ...
متن کاملFeasibility of cardiac resynchronization therapy in a patient with complex congenital heart disease and dextrocardia, facilitated by cardiac computed tomography and coronary sinus venography.
We describe a case with pacemaker implantation for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in a patient with complex congenital heart disease, facilitated by cardiac computed tomography (CT) and coronary sinus (CS) venography. A 37-year-old male presented with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries and mesocardia, along with a history of two open heart surgeries (closure of ...
متن کاملTemporary left ventricular pacing improves haemodynamic performance in patients requiring epicardial pacing post cardiac surgery.
OBJECTIVE In the 1990s, sequential atrio-ventricular pacing demonstrated haemodynamic benefit relative to right ventricular pacing in patients with sinus rhythm requiring pacing post cardiopulmonary bypass. The benefit of biventricular pacing has been demonstrated in non-surgical patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction. It was hypothesised that left ventricular pacing would increase c...
متن کاملInadvertent placement of pacemaker lead into the systemic ventricle in repaired D-transposition of the great arteries.
We report a case of a 27-year-old man with Senning repair of D-transposition of the great arteries. A dual-chamber pacemaker was placed for syncope due to sinoatrial node dysfunction 3 years before this presentation. He had no further syncope but complained of dyspnea on exertion and mild exercise intolerance. A routine chest x-ray and transthoracic echocardiography suggested the presence of a ...
